In cooperation with the Continuing Education Unit, the department of Biology gave a lecture on the uses of Nanotechnology in the medical field. Throughout the lecture, Prof. Dr. Hanaa Kamil Muhammad explained the concept of Nanotechnology and the revolution brought by it in all the industrial and medical fields despite its newness.
Kamel added that the promising medical application of nanotechnology is the use of polymer nanofibers to perform prosthetic surgeries for blood vessels, where prosthetic devices made of protein nanofibers have recently been implanted in the human central nervous system. Polymer nanofibers are used in the treatment of burns and wounds as well as in the cosmetics manufacturing.
