Nanomedicine: Targeted Drug Delivery & Theranostics
Nanomedicine applies nanoscale materials to diagnosis and treatment of diseases. By enabling targeted drug delivery and theranostics, it supports India’s healthcare priorities of affordable precision medicine, early diagnosis, reduced side effects, and scalable solutions for public health challenges.
Core Concept
- Nanomedicine uses nanoparticles for diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of diseases.
- Targeted drug delivery ensures medicines act specifically at diseased sites, while theranostics combine therapy and diagnostics in a single platform.
How the Technology Works
- Drugs are encapsulated within nanoparticles such as liposomes or polymeric carriers.
- These carriers are engineered to recognize disease-specific markers and release drugs at target sites.
- In theranostics, ....
