Abstract

Nanobiotechnology impacts nearly all aspects of healthcare. Separate chapters were devoted to major therapeutic areas. Role of nanotechnology in delivery of vaccines for infectious diseases, nanovaccines, was discussed in Chap. 6. Other areas which are not well defined or specialties where the use of nanobiotechnology is still limited are all included in this chapter.
