DOI: 10.61718/khimu2025978-617-7886-88-3https://dspace.khimu-library.com.ua/handle/123456789/496This paper examines the application of nanotechnology in biophysics, specifically focusing on Smart Drug Delivery Systems (SDDS). These systems utilize nanoscale carriers (1–100 nm), such as photochromic nanoparticles, to load drug molecules for controlled, targeted, and time-regulated application. The core advantage of SDDS is maximizing drug efficacy while minimizing side effects by ensuring the therapeutic agent is released primarily at the diseased site (e.g., tumors, inflamed areas) using external activation (e.g., light). The analysis highlights the wide application in oncology (targeted chemotherapy) and infectious/autoimmune diseases, emphasizing the critical role of specialized computer programs for designing nanomaterials and simulating carrier movement within the body. Familiarity with these technologies is vital for medical students to develop multidisciplinary thinking and become future researchers and innovators in the field.enNanotechnologySmart Drug DeliveryNanoparticlesBiophysicsTargeted Drug DeliveryPhotochromic NanoparticlesOncologyComputer SimulationArticle
