Viral Nanotechnology

Beschreibung

This book presents a review of a rapidly developing field of viral nanotechnology in the context of immunology, virology, microbiology, chemistry, physics, and mathematical modeling. Viral nanotechnology is founded on the unexpected properties of viral nanoparticles. It emphasizes applications of viral nanotechnology to improving health and advancing material technologies. These applications include developing vaccines for prevention of disease, developing drugs and genetic therapies for treatment of disease, and developing diagnostic reagents and novel imaging technologies for detecting disease and infectious agents causing disease.
