Nanomedicine will drive the next generation of precision Medicine

Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science & Technology and Earth Sciences and MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh today said that Nanomedicine will drive the next generation of precision Medicine and personalised Healthcare, adding that India’s indigenous research carries global potential.

Speaking at the inaugural function of the World Congress on Nanomedicine 2026 at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi, Dr. Jitendra Singh described nanomedicine as one of the most transformative developments in medical practice, with the potential to make healthcare increasingly precise and personalised by working at the nanometre scale. He said the future of medicine would increasingly involve individualised treatment based on a patient’s genetic profile, lifestyle, dietary habits and environmental factors, with nanotechnology offering new possibilities for precision at the cellular level.

The World Congress on Nanomedicine 2026, hosted by the Institute of Nano Medical Sciences (INMS), Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Delhi, is bringing together over 2,000 participants, including eminent scientists and young researchers, to discuss emerging advances and applications in nanomedicine. Nobel Laureate Prof. Roger D. Kornberg, Nobel Laureate and Stanford University, USA, is the Chairperson of the Congress, while Prof. T.M.S. Chang, McGill University, Canada, is the Honorary President. Prof. Yogesh Singh, Vice-Chancellor, University of Delhi; Prof. G.P.
