Discussion Group: Nanomedicine: Likely trends and certain challenges
The next decade is likely to bring some remarkable innovations to the clinic that are built upon the application of new knowledge from a convergent range of disciplines and the ability to manipulate matter at the nanoscale.
Examples of some of these novel developments from different fields of nanomedicine will be discussed together with the impact that this rapid progress is likely to have for patients and for healthcare systems. What challenges will clinicians and industry face in both understanding this burgeoning new field and applying novel treatments in a safe and predictable way.
