Regenerative Nanomedicine and Drug Delivery

Submit Abstract Register Now

Regenerative nanomedicine is one of the medical applications of nanotechnology. It ranges from the medical applications of nanomaterials to Nanoelectronic biosensors, and the future applications of molecular nanotechnology, such as biological machines. Nanomedicine sales reached $16 billion in 2015, with a minimum of $3.8 billion in nanotechnology R&D being invested every year. In terms of products for use inside the human body, nanotechnology-based applications for anticancer drugs, implanted insulin pumps, and gene therapy are being developed, while other researchers are working on prostheses and implants which contain nanostructured materials. Carbon nanotubes might be useful as drug delivery vehicles inside or on the surface of the human body. Cosmetics based on quantum dots (3-5 nm) as well as nano-crystalline materials such as zinc oxide, for use in advanced sunscreens, are also available.
