2. Designing nanotechnology tools for therapeutic and diagnostic applications
The design of such nanotechnology-based tools is a complex process. It requires mastery of synthesis methods and the physico-chemical, biopharmaceutical and pharmacological characterization of nano-sized objects. The design of nanomedicines must also take into account the constraints imposed by the development of any pharmaceutical system intended for human administration.

Thus, nanovectors proposed for therapeutic or diagnostic applications in vivo must necessarily meet two main criteria:
the materials of which they are made must be biodegradable (or easily eliminated from the body), and they must not induce toxic reactions;
they must be able to be loaded with active ingredients (or contrast agents) and transported, then released, to the biological target....
