Nanoparticles & Advanced Drug Delivery Systems

Introduction of functionalised and modified nanostructures in biomedical applications has resulted in an increased rate of research interest in the recent years. Metallic, composite, ceramic, and polymeric nanomaterials are investigated to find out their biomedical applications in novel tissue engineering, targeted drug delivery, and biosensors etc. In the present scenario, there is an increased demand for designing of nanotools to respond to the biological problems and also for the preparation of more efficient approaches. In the fields of tissue and implant engineering, specific properties of the nanomaterials at their nanoscale dimension like wide surface area and fine surface roughness are known to yield a good biological response of the osteogenic cells. Nanotechnology also finds its application in dentistry, biosystems, respiratory diseases, Genetic nanomedicine etc.
