Beskrivning
Applications of Nanobiotechnology for Neglected Tropical Diseases describes recent advances in nanobiotechnology that can be applied to reducing the global disease burden of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). The book explores the application of nanotechnology on the development of safe, effective, and reliable tools to prevent, diagnose, and treat NTDs.
Furthermore, Applications of Nanobiotechnology for Neglected Tropical Diseases includes multidisciplinary content, combining knowledge from biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, material sciences, pharmacology, and pharmaceutics. The book is divided into three main parts, each outlining one major type of approach: (1) nano-based approaches for prevention, (2) nano-diagnostics and detection, and (3) nanotherapeutics. Each part contains chapters that delve into the different applications of the type of approach being presented in that part. A discussion of other approaches against NTD follows these three parts. This book is remarkable in its ability to encompass and thoroughly explain the latest techniques in nanobiotechnology, from basic research to patient-oriented investigation.
- Offers a broad overview of nanobiotechnology applied to the prevention, diagnostics, and treatment of NTDs
- Presents cutting-edge recent advances in nanobiotechnology, focusing on diseases reported by the World Health Organization's NTDs Roadmap (e.g., leishmaniasis, malaria, schistosomiasis, filariasis, etc.)
- Provides a deep discussion about ground-breaking approaches designed to meet the medical needs of patients suffering from NTDs
- Gives examples of multidisciplinary investigations into NTDs, from research labs to clinics

Fabio Rocha Formiga graduated in pharmaceutical sciences, obtaininghis bachelor’s degree in 2004 from the Federal University of Rio Grande doNorte, Brazil, where he also concluded a master’s course in health sciences.In 2011, he obtained a PhD in pharmaceutical technology from the Universityof Navarra in Spain, with distinctions, as a MAEC-AECID scholar. In 2018,he completed a research training in nanobiomaterials at the Rice University(Houston, United States). Dr. Formiga has worked as a visiting professor atthe University of Coimbra, Portugal. He has experience in teaching/supervisionat the BSc, MSc, and PhD levels. In addition, he has acted as referee fornational and foreign funding agencies. He has participated as a member of universitycommittees, examination boards, and has organized scientific meetings,including the 22nd International Symposium on Microencapsulation (Chair).Dr. Formiga has also been strongly involved in collaborative programs for exchangewith European universities (from Portugal, Spain, and Denmark). He isa cofounder and vice-president of the Brazilian Chapter of Controlled ReleaseSociety (CRS, 2019–present) and guest associate editor of the Drug Deliveryand Translational Research (Springer) and Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology(Bentham). He is a member of the Brazilian Association of PharmaceuticalSciences (ABCF) and the European Foundation for Clinical Nanomedicine(CLINAM). Currently, Dr. Formiga is a research scientist and deputy head ofthe Department of Immunology at the Aggeu Magalhães Institute, OswaldoCruz Foundation (FIOCRUZ), Brazil. He also holds a tenured adjunct professorposition at University of Pernambuco (UPE). Dr. Formiga was acknowledgedwith the Research Award from Spanish Society of Pharmaceutics andPharmaceutical Technology (SEFIG) in 2013 and the Benjamin Gilbert Award from FIOCRUZ in 2017. His research has focused on pharmaceutics, drug delivery,nanotechnology, and biomaterials toward neglected tropical diseases andregenerative medicine. Inamuddin is an Assistant professor at Department of Applied Chemistry, Zakir Husain College of Engineering and Technology, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India. He has extensive research experience in multidisciplinary fields of analytical chemistry, materials chemistry, electrochemistry, renewable energy and environmental science. He has worked on different research projects funded by various government agencies and universities. His current research interests include ion exchange materials, a sensor for heavy metal ions, biofuel cells, supercapacitors and bending actuators. Dr. Severino is currently working as a professor in the College of Pharmacyand Postgraduate Program in Industrial Biotechnology, Tiradentes University(UNIT), Aracaju, Brazil and is also a research coordinator of Nanomedicineand Nanotechnology Laboratory Institute of Technology and Research (ITP),Aracaju, Brazil. She graduated in pharmacy from the Methodist University ofPiracicaba—Unimep (2005). She earned master’s and PhD from the Facultyof Chemical Engineering at the State University of Campinas—Unicamp(2008 and 2012). In the master's she carried out a sandwich program at theFaculty of Pharmacy of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul—UFRGS(2007–08), and in her PhD carried out a sandwich program at the Faculty ofPharmacy of the Fernando Pessoa University—UFP, Porto, Portugal (2010–11).She has extensive research experience in multidisciplinary fields of nanomedicine,biomaterial, drug delivery, cosmetics, and biotechnology.
