Title: A review of nanomaterials in humans

Abstract:

Nanotechnology is now a mature field in numerous industries from energy to building constructs to medicine. Nanomaterials have specifically revolutionized how we prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases. In this presentation, a review of the use of nanomaterials in humans will be provided which have shown improved bone growth, decreased infection, limited inflammation, and decreased cancer to mention just a few applications. It will focus on novel materials that can both diagnose and treat diseases or health ailments. It will also emphasize materials that are being commercialized into real products and helping human health. Lastly, this talk will discuss the future of nanomaterials in medicine and what research is needed to reach such applications such sensors, 3D and 4D printing, and more
