Νanomedicine refers to the area of science that combines nanotechnology with drugs or diagnostic molecules to improve the ability to target specific cells or tissues. These materials are produced on a nanoscale level and are safe to introduce into the body. Applications for nanotechnology in medicine include imaging, diagnosis, or the delivery of drugs that will help medical professionals treat various diseases. Nanotechnology’s revolution for science and commerce has been revolutionizing public health and will transform governance under law. from lighter and stronger packaging to 3d printing food clothing and human organs developments in nanotechnology have changed daily life and law. Join us for a briefing about key developments in nanotechnology and nanomedicine under law. These important concepts have transformed how we communicate and live since the beginning of this century.
