Recent Progress in Nanobiotechnology

This book describes recent important advancements in nanobiotechnology for biomedical applications as well as explaining fundamentals and examining potential applications in biomedical settings. Nanobiotechnology is the study of applications of nanotechnologies in biological or biomedical settings. It is an interdisciplinary field of growing importance whose subcategories encompass chemical engineering, molecular biophysics, and cellular mechanics or tissue engineering. This book is structured in a way to summarize the latest process in nanobiotechnology at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ levels. The principles of the underlying science are presented, and widely accepted applications in the field and newly designed techniques are extensively described. Fresh insights are provided into the convergence of science and technology. This book is an ideal guide to the field that will be of value especially for researchers from interdisciplinary fields and higher level graduate students with extraordinary inspirations and research training.
