Nanotechnology - A Financial Perspective from Zurich

Zurich Financial Services Group focuses on Nanotechnology in its latest issue of Industry Insight, its online consumer magazine. It defines nanotechnology as the methods of manipulating atoms and molecules to create new structures at scales measured in billionths of a metre. This issue of Industry Insight provides an overview of nanotechnology today – its enormous commercial potential, the unique risk challenges nanotechnology poses, the regulatory environment for nanotechnology, and a look at what Zurich is doing to help its customers understand and manage the potential risk.

From the Laboratory to the Clinic Nanotechnology Brings Promise for Nanomedicine

In the last decade, technology changes have enabled the process of drug discovery to evolve into a system where new lead molecules can be rapidly found against novel, and sometimes, difficult targets. While automation steps toward miniaturisation, and robotics-based strategies have greatly increased throughputs in compound synthesis and screening, they have merely began to scratch the surface.
