Abstract
Owing to their multifunctional properties, quantum dots (QDs) have gained considerable attention in generating novel biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. This chapter exhaustively focuses on various aspects of QDs, highlighting their major synthesis protocols, properties and latest developments regarding their use in biomedical applications. Due to their favourable characteristics such as biologically inert, biocompatible and highly luminescent, their biomedical use has emphasised as in vitro and in vivo imaging, cell labelling, diagnostic tool, biosensors/biomarkers and as a drug delivery agent in various diseases. This chapter summarises the latest findings regarding the application of QDs in the biomedical field fetched from the literature.
