Nanobiomaterials for Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications

Nanobiomaterials for Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications explores the unique properties of nanoscale materials and how they are utilized in diagnostics and therapeutics. This book introduces the reader to the fundamentals of nanobiomaterials before comprehensively covering three core focus areas: nanobiomaterials for diagnostics, for therapeutics, and for theragnostics. A range of nanobiomaterials are covered - including organic and inorganic types - as well as a selection of biomedical applications aligned with diagnostics and therapeutics, such as regenerative medicine and antimicrobial treatments. This is a great interdisciplinary resource for researchers and academics working in materials science, biomedical engineering, medicinal and materials chemistry, and biomedical sciences.
