What are the Challenges in Integrating Nanotechnology with Biomedical Engineering?
Despite its promising potential, the integration of nanotechnology with biomedical engineering faces several challenges:
Biocompatibility: Ensuring that nanomaterials are safe and do not induce adverse immune responses in the body. Scalability: Developing cost-effective and scalable manufacturing processes for nanomaterials and devices. Regulatory Approval: Navigating the complex regulatory landscape to obtain approval for clinical use of nanotechnology-based products. Ethical Concerns: Addressing ethical issues related to the long-term effects and potential misuse of nanotechnology in medicine.
