Why is #Graphene useful in biomedical applications?

Although still within the initial stages of development, graphene in biomedical applications has the potential to make a significant impact on people's lives

 

Graphene has a high surface area and is a very versatile material. This means that almost anything can be attached to its surface

 

Being able to fine-tune this material is unprecedented among other nanomaterials offering enormous design capabilities

 

How can graphene be used in biomedicine?

 

Using graphene to enhance targeted drug delivery

 

Every atom of graphene is exposed to its environment allowing for the creation of ultra-sensitive biosensors

 

Graphene even has the potential to change the behaviour of cells

 

Graphene could also be used outside the body, for example in wound healing

 

Graphene has the potential to be used in cancer treatment to reduce the side effects associated with current
