Nanomedicine and Drug Delivery

Nano medicine leverages nanotechnology for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. By manipulating materials at the nanoscale (typically less than 100 nanometers), scientists can create new therapies and diagnostic tools that offer unprecedented precision and effectiveness. Utilizing nanoparticles to deliver drugs directly to diseased cells, thereby reducing side effects and improving efficacy. Enhancing imaging techniques such as MRI, CT scans and ultrasounds with nanoparticles to achieve higher resolution and better disease detection. Developing nanoparticles that can deliver therapeutic agents like genes, proteins or small molecules to specific cells or tissues. Creating nanoscale sensors for early disease detection and monitoring biological processes in real-time. Nanotechnology has significantly advanced drug delivery systems by developing nanoscale carriers that can transport therapeutic agents to specific sites in the body, improving the effectiveness and safety of treatments. These include liposomes, dendrimers, polymeric nanoparticles and inorganic nanoparticles each offering unique properties for drug encapsulation and release.
