Description

Nanomedicine in Translational Research: Status and Future Challenges harnesses the current developments and future directions of diagnostic and therapeutic solutions in clinical scenarios. This book integrates nanomedicine and biomaterials to develop healthcare technology for improved patient care and clinical practices, through applications using theranostics, biomaterials, 3-D printing, regenerative medicines, and nanosystems.

Those in this multidisciplinary field will need to improve procedures and protocols, as well as regulatory guidelines and their clinical implications. This book will be highly useful as it is written by experts in the field for researchers working in the areas of nanotechnology, biomaterials, drug delivery, and pharmaceuticals for chronic diseases.

Key features

  • Focuses on the pillars contributing to the global healthcare crisis: geopolitical changes, overpopulation/migration, and climate change.
  • Includes personal interviews with many world leaders in different areas along with the authors’ hands-on experience on healthcare, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, for drafting the contents that confirm advanced healthcare.
  • Provides a broad and multidisciplinary understanding of healthcare, allowing the readers to understand their role and empower them to take initiatives to emerging solutions.

Readership

Researchers working in the areas of nanotechnology, biomaterials, drug delivery and pharmaceuticals for generating the basic idea / strategies of developing viable future technologies for both acute and chronic diseases, Researchers, doctors/practitioners working in the areas of clinical fields and molecular biology. Also, it will be of interesting to the field of biotechnology, cell therapeutics and tissue engineering.
