Nanotechnologies in Preventative and Regenerative Medicine demonstrates how control at the nanoscale can help achieve earlier diagnoses and create more effective treatments. Chapters take a logical approach, arranging materials by their area of application. Biomaterials are, by convention, divided according to the area of their application, with each chapter outlining current challenges before discussing how nanotechnology and nanomaterials can help solve these challenges
This applications-orientated book is a valuable resource for researchers in biomedical science who want to gain a greater understanding on how nanotechnology can help create more effective vaccines and treatments, and to nanomaterials researchers seeking to gain a greater understanding of how these materials are applied in medicine.
- Demonstrates how nanotechnology can help achieve more successful diagnoses at an earlier stage
- Explains how nanomaterials can be manipulated to create more effective drug treatments
- Offers suggestions on how the use of nanotechnology might have future applications to create even more effective treatments
Academics (e.g. professors) in the field of bioengineering, biotechnology, nanoscience and nanotechnology. Industry (e.g. medical technology, pharmaceutical). Juniors and seniors in Biomedical Engineering, physics, material science and engineering as a textbook for an elective course. Industry sector – entry level scientists and engineers in nanotechnology and nanomedicine biotech as a reference for their training. Clinical fellows who are interested in nanomedicine as a reference for their practice and research
