Applications of Nanotechnology in Contemporary Medicine: An Interdisciplinary Assessment

Abstract

Nanotechnology has emerged as a transformative force in contemporary medicine, offering novel approaches to diagnostics, therapeutics, and regenerative strategies. This interdisciplinary assessment explores the current and potential applications of nanotechnology across various medical domains, including oncology, cardiology, neurology, and infectious disease management. By leveraging the unique physicochemical properties of nanoscale materials, researchers and clinicians can enhance drug delivery precision, improve imaging techniques, and develop minimally invasive treatment modalities. The paper also evaluates the integration of nanotechnology with fields such as bioengineering, pharmacology, and materials science to create synergistic solutions for complex medical challenges. Key advancements discussed include nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery systems, nanosensors for early disease
detection, and nanostructured scaffolds for tissue engineering. Ethical, regulatory, and safety considerations are also addressed, emphasizing the need for responsible innovation. This comprehensive overview underscores nanotechnology’s critical role in shaping the future of personalized and precision medicine
