Unveiling the Potential of Advanced Nanostructured Materials in Biomedicine
Co-organized with University Magna Graecia of Catanzaro and Sapienza University of Rome Chairs: Luciano GALANTINI & Iolanda FRANCOLINI, Sapienza University of Rome
The fusion of nanotechnology and biomedicine opens unprecedented avenues for revolutionary breakthroughs. This session delves into the field of advanced nanostructured materials, unveiling their transformative potential in the field of healthcare. From diagnosis to treatment, these materials redefine the boundaries of medical science, offering precision and efficacy at the nanoscale. Nanostructured materials, meticulously engineered, hold the power to revolutionize diagnostics. Nanoparticles and nanosensors can detect biomarkers with unparalleled sensitivity, enabling early disease detection and personalized medicine. The combination of nanotechnology and medical imaging enhances visualization, enabling clinicians to unravel intricate cellular processes in real time. In the therapeutic field, these materials act as versatile agents, delivering drugs precisely to target sites while minimizing systemic side effects. Their tunable properties and interactions with biological systems foster innovative drug delivery platforms, like smart nanocarriers triggered by specific cues within the body. Despite these transformative benefits, challenges persist, such as long-term safety assessment and regulatory considerations. Researchers diligently navigate these complexities, employing biocompatible designs and rigorous testing protocols.
