Audience
This book is required reading for all those researchers and practitioners who are interested in a comprehensive overview of fundamental concepts and various applications in the multidisciplinary areas of medicine, drug delivery, and therapeutics. As the book covers a wide area of research that integrates biology, chemistry, physics, electronics, sensors, materials science, engineering and nanotechnology, it also serves as an interdisciplinary guide for post-graduate researchers solving a multitude of research problems.
DescriptionIn the last couple of decades, the development of new biomedical, electronic and optical tools has provided a unique opportunity to look at materials on a nanoscale. The resultant nanotechnology boom has significantly affected the biological sciences and related areas; imaging at a subcellular level and precise delivery of drugs to tissues are two such important areas.
Nanomedicine for Drug Delivery and Therapeutics focuses mainly on the broad areas of research and applications. It presents both a comprehensive overview of the fundamental concepts as well as a practical guide for numerous applications.
