NANOTECHNOLOGY IN BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE

PRESENTED BY

RAVIRAJ S KUBER

NANOMEDICINE•IT IS THE MEDICAL APPLICATION OF NANOTECHNOLOGY.

•IT`S DEFINED AS THE REPAIR, CONSTRUCTION AND CONTROL OF HUMAN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS USING DEVICES BUILT UPON NANOTECHNOLOGY STANDARDS.

NANOMEDICINE• NANOSTRUCTURED

MATERIALS, ENGINEERED ENZYMES AND MANY OTHER PRODUCTS OF BIOTECHNOLOGY WILL BE VERY USEFUL IN THE FUTURE.

•HIGH-SOPHISTICATED, MEDICALLY PROGRAMMABLE NANOMACHINES AND NANOROBOTS ARE DEVELOPED.

NANOMEDICINE

• NANOTECHNOLOGY CAN BE USED IN MANY FIELDS OF MEDICINE

•PHARMACY

•VISUALIZATION

•CANCER

•DIAGNOSES

•SURGERY

NANOPHARMACY• IT CAN HELP IN INCREASING THE BIOAVAILABILITY OF THE

DRUG AND BIODISTRIBUTIONS .

• SO IT WILL REDUCE SIDE EFFECTS .

• IT CAN ICREASE THE SOLUBILITY OF THE DRUG.

APPLICATIONS

• COMBINES GEARS, LEVERS, PLATES, SENSORS, POWER + COMMUNICATION CABLES WITH POWERFUL MICROSCOPIC COMPS

‘SMART MATERIALS’.

SMART BIONANOTUBES FOR DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS

• SMART =>

ENCAPSULATE, OPEN UP

=> DELIVER

DRUG/GENE TO

PARTICULAR LOCATION

IN BODY.
