Nanotechnology & Advances in Medicine

Nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale. This covers both current work and concepts that are more advanced. Biomedical nanotechnology, bio-nanotechnology and nanomedicine are used to describe this hybrid field. The pace of new discoveries in biotechnology and health care and even the appearance of whole new fields of endeavour in recent years have made for an exciting and challenging time for pharmacists. This book examines current research in the study of nanotechnology and its role in the diagnosis and treatment of various fields of medicine.
