Project Details
Description
Medical use of nanotechnology is already a major area of research and industry investment in Australia. Such extremely small engineering offers more efficient and less painful therapeutic devices and ways to deliver medicines (including vaccines,anti-cancer agents and gene-based drugs).Yet little is known about how best to regulate such innovative products to ensure the equally important and interrelated goals of patient safety and value for public expenditure. This Project draws upon unique interdisciplinary expertise to develop new theoretical models of regulation likely to improve safety and cost-effectiveness of nanotechnology medicines and invasive medical devices in Australia.
