The role of nanotechnology in the study of human DNA and delivery of drugs

Abstract

Increasingly, newer discoveries lead to innovative technologies that enable the study of existing phenomena as well as pave the way for advancement of other disciplines. One such field, that of Nanotechnology, offers unlimited promise and potential to enable researchers the ability to work at molecular or near-atomic levels. Medical applications are expected in vital areas of human health and disease, such as the structure and function of DNA, and the delivery of targeted drugs or other chemicals to areas of interest.
