INTRODUCTION
Nanobiotechnology combines nanotechnology with biotechnology to design novel drug delivery systems. In India, it is emerging as a powerful tool to enhance drug efficacy, reduce toxicity, and improve patient compliance [1].
Applications in Drug Delivery
Nanoparticles, liposomes, and polymeric carriers are being developed for targeted drug delivery in cancer, tuberculosis, and neurological diseases. For instance, nanoparticle-based formulations of anti-TB drugs enhance bioavailability and reduce dosing frequency [2]. In oncology, nanocarriers allow controlled release of chemotherapeutics directly at tumor sites, minimizing systemic toxicity [3]. Nano-based insulin delivery systems are also being explored for diabetes management [4].
Challenges and Future Directions
Barriers include high production costs, regulatory challenges, and limited clinical translation of lab-based innovations. However, ongoing collaborations between academic institutes and pharmaceutical companies in India are accelerating nanomedicine development [5].
Conclusion
Nanobiotechnology holds immense potential to revolutionize drug delivery. With Indiaâ??s growing biotech sector, nanomedicine can play a pivotal role in addressing both infectious and chronic diseases.
