Introduction to Nanomedicine and Nanobioengineering

PARAS N. PRASAD, PHD, is the SUNY Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, Physics, Electrical Engineering, and Medicine; the Samuel P. Capen Chair of Chemistry; and the Executive Director of the Institute for Lasers, Photonics, and Biophotonics at the University at Buffalo. He was named among the top 50 science and technology leaders in the world by Scientific American in 2005. He has published 700 scientific and technical papers in high-impact journals, three monographs that practically defined the fields of organic nonlinear optics, biophotonics, and nanophotonics, eight edited books, and holds numerous patents. He is the recipient of many scientific awards and honors (Morley Medal; Schoellkopf Medal; Guggenheim Fellowship; Sloan Fellowship; Western New York Health Care Industries Technology/Discovery Award; Fellow of the APS, OSA, and SPIE). He is a pioneer in nanomedicine and nanobioengineering, and has been giving plenary, opening, and keynote lectures worldwide in this field.

“This volume is most handy for those in the physics, chemistry, or materials science fields who are interested in biomedical applications of nanotechnology; it would also be useful for those in the biological or medical fields who are interested in learning how nanotechnology would be beneficial to their research.  Summing Up: Recommended.  Upper-division undergraduates and above.”  (Choice, 1 January 2013)
