Biomedical Nanotechnology

This volume provides an overview of the synthesis and characterization of nanostructures commonly employed in biomedical applications. Chapters detail synthesis of multiple types of nanoparticles, nanomaterials, interactions with biological systems, and  applications of biomedical nanotechnology, as well as discussions of their translation from bench to bedside. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Biomedical Nanotechnology aims to be a useful and practical guide to new researchers and experts looking to expand their knowledge.
