Key Points

5 points

Nanomedicine uses structures measured in nanometres for medical applications.

It enables precise drug delivery, improved imaging, and regenerative therapies.

Government funding in India totals 174 crore Indian rupees for 210 projects.

Examples include oral insulin nanoparticles, cancer nanobots, and vaccine delivery systems.

Balance between advanced technology and human clinical skills is essential.

📖

By considering an individual’s genetic profile, lifestyle, and environment, therapies can be tailored precisely.

India supports over 210 research and development projects, ranging from targeted drug delivery to regenerative medicine.

While these advances offer greater precision, experts stress that they must complement, not replace, doctors’ clinical judgment.
