Nanotech Knocks on FDA's Door
Abstract:
“Thanks to the promise of nanotechnology, people will benefit from fantastic new prescription drugs and from better ways of getting existing pharmaceuticals into the body for more effective disease treatments. But new nano-enabled drugs and medical devices also place new burdens on an oversight agency that is already stretched extremely thin,” said Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies Director David Rejeski in a presentation today at the Food and Drug Administration’s first major public meeting on regulating products containing nanotechnology materials.
