  • First Online:
Fungal Nanobionics: Principles and Applications

Abstract

Nanotechnology is gradually being incorporated into drug industry sector. This technology is used to overcome the problem of drug delivery through existing approaches; however the cost factors and implementation issues have restricted this field and increased the need for basic as well technological innovations. There is an increasing interest in the use of fungi in these processes since they have potential to generate eco-friendly and relatively rapid and clean metallic nanoparticles. Fungal nanobiotechnology (FNBT) has resulted in development of nanodrugs and novel diagnostic/analytical tools for therapy and prevention of many chronic diseases such as cancer, HIV infections, and kidney diseases. In present chapter applications of FNBT in targeted drug delivery, bio-sensing, and development of drugs with enhanced efficiency and efficacy having lesser side effects have been discussed.
