Iranian Specialists Use Nanogold as Marker in Nanosensors for Cancer, Drug Detection

“We have participated in the exhibition with several flagship products, each of which is significant in a different field of nano applications. Among these products, we can mention those which have been produced by using nanotechnology in the field of medicine, nanotechnology in concrete and construction, nano wound dressings, antibacterial carpets and textiles, nanogold and nanosilver,” said Mohammad Reza Kalayee, an associate professor of polymer engineering department and Head of Nanotechnology Research Center of the Islamic Azad University’s South Tehran branch.

Noting that three of the products of the company have been welcomed by visiting companies and negotiations are underway for their production and export, he said, “We have 27 products, 8 of which we have presented at the exhibition.”

“The three main products of interest in the market are concrete reinforced with nano and polymer fibers that increase the durability and strength of structures, drug nanocarriers that are nanocomposited with polymers, and nanogold that is used as a marker in nanosensors for detecting cancer and drugs,” Kalayee said.

The 16th International Nano Technology Exhibition and the First Exhibition of Advanced Technologies of Iran was inaugurated at the Tehran International Fairground.

Held from November 2 to 5, the Nano Exhibition featured over 150 innovative companies showcasing advancements in nanotechnology. Meanwhile, the Exhibition of Advanced Technologies hosted 80 knowledge-based and technological products, attracting visitors, particularly students, researchers, and investors.
