Nanotechnology in biomedicine

The use of advanced Nano materials are at the leading edge of the rapidly developing field of nanotechnology and have attracted increasing interest of current researchers globally because of their unique physico-chemical, biological, optical, electrical and magnetic properties. Both inorganic as well as organic nanomaterial’s have been well explored for their wide range of applications in catalysis, sensors, photonic devices etc. but their study in the biomedical field is relatively new and seems to be a promising tool for providing great benefits to our society in future. Nano materials are under investigation in various areas of biology and medicine that includes proteomic and genomic studies, disease diagnostics, pharmaceutical screening, drug delivery, protein purification, cancer therapies, and bio-imaging.
