  1. NANOTECHNOLOGY IN THE FIELD OF MEDICINE AbdulrahmanAlfawaz

  2. NANo? • Nano is derived from νανoζ, the Greek word for dwarf • Usually is combined with a noun to form words such as nanometer, nanotechnology or nanorobot. TITUS L. SCHLEYER

  3. HOW SMALL IS NANO? • A nanometer is 10^–9 meter, or one-billionth of a meter • Visualizing the scale of a nanometer TITUS L. SCHLEYER

  4. Nano =

  5. Applications • Medicince • Electronics • Environmental • Energy • Space • Food http://www.understandingnano.com/mems.html

  6. NanoMedicine • Nanomedicine has been defined as “applications of nanotechnology for treatment, diagnosis, monitoring, and control of biological systems” Perspectives and opportunities for nanomedicine in the management of atherosclerosis Mark E. Lobatto

  7. NanoMedicine • These applications range from targeted therapy, in vivo imaging and in vitro diagnostics to biomaterials and active implants. • Nanoparticles are similar in scale to biological macromolecules such as proteins and DNA Perspectives and opportunities for nanomedicine in the management of atherosclerosis Mark E. Lobatto

  8. Cancer and nanotechnology Prevention and Control of Cancer • Developing nanoscale devices that can deliver cancer prevention agents • Designing multicomponent anticancer vaccines using nanoscale delivery vehicles U.S. DEPARTMENT OFHEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute

  9. Cancer and nanotechnology Early Detection Of Cancer • Creating implantable molecular sensors that can detect cancer-associated biomarkers with the results being transmitted via wireless technology to the physician U.S. DEPARTMENT OFHEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute

  10. Cancer and nanotechnology Imaging Diagnostics • Designing “smart” injectable, targeted contrast agents that improve the resolution of cancer to the singlecell level • Engineering nanoscale devices capable of addressing the biological and evolutionary diversity of the multiple cancer cells that make up a tumor within an individual U.S. DEPARTMENT OFHEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute

  11. Cancer and nanotechnology Multifunctional Therapeutics • Developing nanoscale devices that integrate diagnostic and therapeutic functions • Creating “smart” therapeutic devices that can control the release of therapeutic agents while monitoring the effectiveness of these agents U.S. DEPARTMENT OFHEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute

  12. Cancer and nanotechnology Quality of Life Enhancement in Cancer Care • Designing nanoscale devices that can optimally deliver medications for treating conditions that may arise over time with chronic anticancer therapy, including pain, nausea, loss of appetite, depression, and difficulty breathing U.S. DEPARTMENT OFHEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute
