Nanotechnology Leading the Way in Life Sciences

Author: Dr Mike Fisher
The field of medical science is developing rapidly and there is no doubt that nanotechnology is helping to resolve some of the industry’s most significant challenges.
In 2008, the biotechnology and pharmaceuticals industry had exports of over £17.2 billion and a balance of trade of £6.0 billion. With an estimated 308 Nano-Life Science companies internationally, it is no surprise that nanotechnology has attracted a huge amount of attention from
global media and governments.
In February 2010, the Nanotechnology Knowledge Transfer Network (NanoKTN) and The Wellcome Trust hosted its second Nano4Life event. This annual conference is dedicated to exploring key areas within the life sciences, where nanotechnology offers the opportunity to advance healthcare and improve product discovery. The conference brought together leading medical technology and pharmaceutical companies to encourage
networking and discuss the key issues within bionano, looking for areas where nanotechnologies can be used to help solve the issues that healthcare currently face. Presentations were delivered by leading biotech
organisations and research institutions including Pharmidex Pharmaceutical Services Ltd, Imperial College London and the University of London.
