Nanotechnology has applications in medical science, particularly in areas like early cancer detection, infectious disease detection, environmental monitoring and pathogen detection. It also has applications in imaging, drug delivery, hyperthermia apart from pre clinical and clinical tests to name a few. This was the view expressed by experts at the Nanotechnology Forum organized by the Center for Excellence in Nanotechnology (CoEN), at the Asian Institute of Technology on 23 September 2010.
