The design and syntheses of biocompatible multifunctional nanomedicines and nanosensors are an emerging field with important applications in drug delivery, cancer imaging and treatment, detection of infectious diseases, sensing and catalysis. This presentation will summarize recent developments in our laboratory including new biodegradable hyperbranched polymers syntheses and their polymeric nanotheranostics for the targeted combination therapy of various cancers. This will also include the importance of nanotechnology in the development of new line of anti-cancer drugs in determining their therapeutic efficacies. Results indicated that nanotechnology-based combination therapy approach is the better way to overcome the multidrug drug resistant (MDR) effect of a particular chemotherapeutic drug. In addition to nanomedicine, this talk would also highlight on our newly formulated magnetic nanosensors (MRnS) for the early detection of infectious diseases. The successful fabrication of anti-E-coli antibody and sialic acid-conjugated MRnS and their vital role in timely detection of E coli O157:H7 and various influenza viruses (H1N1 and H5N1) will be discussed in this presentation.
