Invitation 1st Pan African Summer School in Nanomedicine 4-10 November 2012, The Farm In Lodge, Pretoria, South Africa

Nanomedicine is defined as the application of nanotechnology to achieve breakthroughs in healthcare. It exploits the improved and often novel physical, chemical and biological properties of materials at the nanometer scale. It has the potential to enable early detection and prevention, and to essentially improve diagnosis, treatment and follow-up diseases.

Nanomedicine embraces an extremely large field ranging from in vivo and in vitro diagnostics to to therapy including targeted delivery and regenerative medicine; It interfaces nanometerials (surfaces, particles etc .) or analytical instruments with “living” human material(cells, tissue, body fluids).Read more
