Future of Nanotechnology-Based Drug Discovery

By enhancing drug administration and diagnostics, nanotechnology is transforming the healthcare industry. Novel approaches to drug design are being driven by combining cutting-edge technologies such as nanorobots and artificial intelligence. Healthcare can benefit from the potential of nanotechnology through the development of multifunctional nanotherapeutics, which could close gaps in the current therapeutic field.

Powered by integrated circuits, sensors, and data storage, nanorobots can increase efficiency and lessen systemic effects while follow-up care for cancer patients is made simpler by nanosensors. Additionally, nanotherapeutics have gained their way in developing novel therapeutics to overcome cancer drug resistance by targeting the mechanisms that induce the drug resistance. Another upcoming field in nanomedicine is the utilization of 3D printing techniques in order to create solid dosage forms based on nanomedicine. By enabling flexible design and on-demand manufacture of customized dosages, enhancing bioavailability, and other attributes, 3D printing technology has revolutionized the pharmaceutical industry. The futuristic applications of nanotechnology hybridized with novel techniques will be discussed in this chapter.
