Symposium on Nanomedicine and its Impact on the Central Nervous System
Introduction of The Textbook of Nanoneuroscience and Nanoneurosurgery (2nd Edition)
- Date: 1 February 2025
- Location: Tehran, Iran
- Venue: Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences
- Event type: Symposium
On 1 February 2025, leading neuroscientists, neurosurgeons, and nanomedicine researchers gathered in Tehran for a landmark symposium exploring how nanotechnology is reshaping diagnosis, drug delivery, and surgical treatment of central nervous system disorders. The programme combined scientific presentations with the official introduction of the second edition of The Textbook of Nanoneuroscience and Nanoneurosurgery — a definitive reference work in the emerging field of nano-neuromedicine.
About the Symposium
The Symposium on Nanomedicine and its Impact on the Central Nervous System brought together clinicians, researchers, and academic leaders to discuss the latest advances at the intersection of nanotechnology and neuroscience. Held at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Tehran, the event attracted in-person and remote participants through a hybrid format, reflecting the international reach of modern neurosurgical education.
Topics covered included nanoparticle-based drug delivery across the blood–brain barrier, nanoscale imaging for early neurological diagnosis, neuroprotective nanomaterials, and the surgical applications of nanotechnology in brain and spine procedures. Presentations emphasised both the scientific promise and the clinical translation of nanomedicine into everyday neurosurgical practice.
Introduction of The Textbook of Nanoneuroscience and Nanoneurosurgery
A highlight of the symposium was the formal unveiling of the second edition of The Textbook of Nanoneuroscience and Nanoneurosurgery — a comprehensive reference covering the principles, techniques, and clinical applications of nanotechnology in neuroscience and neurosurgery.
The book launch ceremony included a presentation of copies to contributing authors and distinguished guests, underscoring the collaborative nature of this rapidly evolving specialty. The textbook serves as an essential resource for neurosurgeons, neurologists, researchers, and trainees seeking to understand how nanoscale science is transforming care for patients with brain tumours, neurodegenerative disease, spinal disorders, and other conditions of the central nervous system.
Prof. Guive Sharifi's Participation
Prof. Guive Sharifi, board-certified neurosurgeon and Professor of Neurosurgery, participated in the symposium as a speaker and contributor to the nanoneuroscience textbook. His involvement reflects a long-standing commitment to advancing neurosurgical education and bridging cutting-edge research with clinical practice in Dubai, Tehran, and internationally.
Events such as this symposium strengthen the global dialogue between academic neurosurgery and emerging technologies — ensuring that patients benefit from safer, more precise, and increasingly personalised treatments for complex neurological conditions.
