Synopsis

This book aims to provide vital information about the growing field of bionanotechnology for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as working professionals in various fields. The fundamentals of nanotechnology are covered along with several specific bionanotechnology applications, including nanobioimaging and drug delivery which is a growing $100 billions industry. The uniqueness of the field has been brought out with unparalleled lucidity; a balance between important insight into the synthetic methods of preparing stable nano-structures and medical applications driven focus educates and informs the reader on the impact of this emerging field. Critical examination of potential threats followed by a current global outlook completes the discussion. In short, the book takes you through a journey from fundamentals to frontiers of bionanotechnology so that you can understand and make informed decisions on the impact of bionano on your career and business.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Dr. Elisabeth S. Papazoglou is the author of more than 40 original articles and 12 patents in materials and nanotechnology. During her 14 years experience in the chemical industry (Arco Chemical, FMC, Great Lakes) she led basic and applied R&D and developed novel commercial products based on nanotechnology. Dr. Papazoglou holds a Diploma in Chemical Engineering from the Aristotelian University of Thessaloniki, Greece, a Masters in Chemical Engineering from the University of Delaware and a Ph.D. in Macromolecular Science & Polymer Engi[1]neering from Case Western Reserve University. She is currently an Assistant Professor in the School of Biomedical Engineering at Drexel University where her research focuses on Bionan[1]otechnology especially on the unique properties of nanoparticles for simultaneous delivery and imaging applications. Her expertise includes, but is not limited to nano approach in wound healing, nano imaging of skin chemistry and QDs based study of skin inflammation. Aravind Parthasarathy earned his Masters Degree from Drexel University in Biomedical En[1]gineering, in 2006. He is presently working as a Product Engineer at EPMedsystems, NJ where he is involved in the design and development of diagnostic equipments for Cardiac Electro[1]physiology. His research at Drexel concentrated on the applications of Bionanotechnology in health care, and in improvising cardiac pacemakers. He earned his Bachelor's degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering from Bharathidasan University, India. Apart from his writing interests, he does quite a bit of circuit building for applications including medical devices, robotics and controls & instrumentation. He is passionate about realizing his dream of making a nanotechnology based "wireless cardiac pacemaker" and believes in seeing more of nanotech based commercial medical devices in the near future.
