However, for several pharmaceutical education systems worldwide, the core courses in pharmaceutical curricula remain focused on the subdisciplines of pharmaceutical sciences (such as pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmacology, pharmaceutics, and pharmaceutical analysis[ 13 ] and fundamental chemistry (such as inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry and biochemistry[ 14 ], and courses focused on nanoscience are insufficient or even absent. The reasons for this may include the following: Nanotechnology is a cutting-edge research field; its novelty may present some challenges to the faculty.…”
