Nanotechnology in Biology and Medicine

Presents the most recent scientific and technological advances including practical applications and nanodevicesProvides an overview of the topic and a description of methods, protocols, instrumentation, and applicationsAddresses a broad audience involved in the research, teaching, and practice of nanotechnology in biology and medicineContains a wealth of chapter-by-chapter references for extensive further study Nanotechnology has revolutionized research in such fields as molecular biology and genomics by opening the possibility of detecting and manipulating atoms and molecules in individual cells. Nanotechnology in Biology and Medicine serves as an authoritative reference for those involved in the research, teaching, learning, and practice of nanotechnology. It presents chapters grouped into four sections: Bionanomaterials and Nanostructures; Nanodevices, Toolkits, and Instrumentation; Nanobiology Applications; and Nanomedicine applications. With published data and references, each chapter provides an overview and describes the relevant methods, protocols, instrumentation, and applications.
