Research and Markets has
announced the addition of Biomedical Applications of Nanotechnology to
their offering.
This book provides a comprehensive survey of nanotechnology
that reviews recent advances in nanotechnology-based drug and gene
delivery systems and imaging approaches, and includes their biomedical
significance, future prospects, and economic impact on pharmaceutical
and biotechnological industries. Authors from different disciplines
representing pharmaceutical sciences, biology, physics, engineering,
medicine, and others investigating nanotechnology for various
biomedical applications contributed book chapters.
The field of nanotechnology is undergoing rapid developments
on many fronts. This reference provides a comprehensive review of
various nanotechnologies with a view to their biomedical applications.
With chapters contributed by distinguished scientists from diverse
disciplines, Biomedical Applications of Nanotechnology:
- Reviews recent advances in the designing of various
nanotechnologies based on nucleic acids, polymers, biomaterials, and
metals
- Discusses biomedical nanotechnology in areas such as drug
and gene delivery
- Covers advanced aspects of imaging and diagnostics
- Includes a chapter on the issue of nanotoxicology
Complete with figures and tables, this is a practical,
hands-on reference book for researchers in pharmaceutical and biotech
industries, biomedical engineers, pharmaceutical scientists,
pharmacologists, and materials scientists as well as for the
policymakers who need to understand the potential of nanotechnology. It
is also an excellent resource book for graduate-level students in
pharmaceutical sciences, biomedical engineering, and other fields in
which nanotechnology is playing an increasingly important role.
