Nanotechnologies for precision medicine
Co-organized with University Magna Graecia of Catanzaro and Sapienza University of Rome Chair: Emanuela Fabiola CRAPARO - CV, University of Palermo
The topic "Nanotechnologies for precision medicine" explores the integration of nanotechnologies in the field of personalized medical care. It delves into how nanoscale materials and techniques are harnessed to reshape diagnostics, therapies, and treatments to tailor them to each patient's unique characteristics. By harnessing the distinctive properties of nanomaterials, this field is paving the way for more targeted and effective interventions, ranging from disease detection and drug delivery to innovative therapies such as gene editing and RNA interference. However, this convergence of nanotechnology and medicine also presents challenges, such as regulatory considerations and toxicity issues, that need to be addressed for sustainable implementation. Ultimately, the evolving landscape of nanotechnology in precision medicine promises a future in which healthcare is fine-tuned to individual profiles, ushering in a new era of personalized and improved medical outcomes.
