Why is Interdisciplinary Training Important in Nanotechnology?
The complexity of nanoscale systems necessitates a multifaceted approach to education and research. Problems in nanotechnology often cannot be solved by a single discipline. For instance, developing a new nanomaterial for drug delivery requires knowledge of chemistry to synthesize the material, biology to understand the interaction with biological systems, and engineering to design the delivery mechanism. Interdisciplinary training ensures that researchers and professionals can approach these problems holistically.
