NANOMATERIALS AND NANOTECHNOLOGY IN MEDICINE

A comprehensive introduction to nanomaterials and their application in the field of medicine

The use of nanotechnology and nanomaterials more generally is an emerging field that has generated a lot of interest in the last few years. To this point, there have been few books that deal with the recent advances in nanomaterials or nanocomposites in the medical discipline.

Intended as a one-stop reference, Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology in Medicine provides the reader with the most-up-to-date and comprehensive exploration of the field of nanomedicine. The scope of the topic is huge, with nano applications in every medical specialization--from diagnostics to pharmaceuticals, from biological therapies to surgical devices, and from regenerative therapies to gene therapy. As such, this volume provides the most comprehensive coverage of this intriguing field of study.

Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology in Medicinereaders will also find:
_ An application-oriented book dedicated towards helping researchers find solutions to both fundamental and applied problems
_ Chapters written by leading researchers from industry, academy, government, and private research institutions across the globe

Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology in Medicine is a useful reference for medical doctors, medical practitioners, post-doctoral research fellows, senior graduate students, and medical libraries.
