tate-of-the-art nanomaterials are at the forefront in emergent arenas of nanotechnology and nanomedicine. Controlled
synthesis, unique tunable properties and tranquil surface modification with chemical or biological moieties make engineered
nanomaterials appropriate for a variety of biomedical applications. Moreover, designer made nanomaterials display distinctive
therapeutic potentials with improved sensitivity, efficiency and specificity and these are due to modified distinctive physicochemical
and surface properties of nanomaterials. In addition to above, the designer made nanomaterials has prospective to produce a series
of interactions with different biological entities including DNA, proteins, membranes, cells and organelles. Such nano-bio interfacial
communications are motivated by colloidal forces and primarily depend on the dynamic physicochemical and surface properties of
particular nanomaterial. Nonetheless, contemporary progress and atomic scale tailoring of various physical, chemical and surface
characteristics of nanomaterial is promising to dictate their interactions in expected manner with biological units for biomedical
applications. Therefore, wisely designed nanomaterials are in extensive demand for a range of applications such as bio-molecular
detection and diagnostics, therapeutics, drug and gene delivery, fluorescent labeling, tissue engineering, biochemical sensing and
other pharmaceuticals applications. Conversely, the toxicity and hazards concomitant with engineered nanomaterials is rather
vague or not well understood. This sort of concerns is gaining considerable attention and the field of nanotoxicology is progressing
quickly. Therefore, in this overview lecture, author will reconnoiter current knowledge of articulate engineering of nanomaterials for
biomedical applications with special attention on their potential toxicological perspectives.
