Nanotechnology Now – Press Release: Advances in nanotechnology applications in biosafety materials Critical response to the COVID-19 pandemic
Home > Press > Advances in nanotechnology applications in biosafety materials Important response to the COVID-19 pandemic
Abstract:
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has had a devastating impact on the public domain causing unprecedented cases and high deaths around the world. This has brought the concept of biosafety back into the spotlight to address biosafety concerns in developing diagnostics and therapeutics to treat COVID-19. Advances in nanotechnology and materials science combined with medicinal chemistry have provided new perspectives for addressing this crisis. The author of this article discusses the efforts of researchers in the field of materials science in developing personal protective equipment (PPE), detection devices, vaccines, drug delivery systems and medical devices. A synergistic disciplinary approach can strengthen research to develop biosafety products in solving biosafety problems.
