Dramatic changes in demographics over the next 2 decades will change the way we need to approach the provision of healthcare. In particular new technologies will have a key role to play in this respect as we try and reconcile better treatments with stagnant budgets.
Within the spectrum of technologies currently under development (bio-, nano- and information) it is the second of these that is generating lots of interest and activity and promises to revolutionise patient care through improved diagnosis and therapy.
In this lecture I will explain what it is about nanotechnology that gives it such promise and illustrate how current research in nanomaterials and devices could be translated for the benefit of patients.
