Nano4Med workshop: "Nanostructures for clinical diagnosis and therapy"
The application of nanostructures like nanoparticles, in medicine opens new horizons due to their outstanding physical and chemical properties at the nanoscale. Nano4Med will present 10 invited lectures on leading edge research and development of the most promising nanoassemblies specifically designed for human in vivo use. Clinical applications cover drug delivery systems, therapeutic and imaging agents among others. Key topics like toxicology, nanocharacterisation, scalability and translation to the clinics will also be addressed. A special emphasis will be put on nanostructures under industrial development, with participation of nanopharmaceuticals companies.
