Dong Kee Yi is a faculty member at the department of bionanotechnology at Gachon University, Korea. Professor Yi serves on the editorial board of ISRN Nanotechnology and reviews for journals from leading scientific societies including the American Chemical Society, Royal Society of Chemistry, and American Institute of Physics. He has authored and coauthored more than 60 peer-reviewed international journal articles and worked as an inventor for 32 international patents. Professor Yi works on research/technology evaluation and advisory panels for the governments of China, Korea, and Romania. He has also worked as a consultant to industrial organizations in Korea.Georgia C. Papaefthymiou is a professor of physics at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, USA, and a visiting research professor at the National Center for Scientific Research (NCSR) Demokritos in Athens, Greece. She is the author or coauthor of more than 150 publications that include peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, reviews, conference proceedings, and opinion pieces. She is on the board of editors of the Journal of Materials, peer reviewer for multiple physics, chemistry, and materials journals, and grand reviewer for the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy of the United States and for Aristeia of Greece.

"The topics are very focused yet thorough. The theme of the book is simple and clear, which is the use of nanomaterials for various bio-applications, yet it is thorough in providing detailed discussion from the design and development stage of those nanomaterials to application. Important issues such as the toxicity of these materials are also presented. ... The book maintains a singular focus throughout, a highly advantageous facet not typically seen in other books. The varied topics tie nanomaterials development closely with bioapplication in specific fields, including bioimaging, cancer therapy, and biosensing. Overall, this book was structured in a manner that it could be easily read by anyone interested in the subject, with specific references selected to provide further, more detailed insight into specific topics."––Timothy Tan, Associate Professor, School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore "The main strength of this book is the consideration of various interdisciplinary aspects of nanobiotechnology such as engineering and surface chemistry aspects involving different nanomaterials. ... This book would be a good reference for graduate students and researchers who are studying or working in the area of nanobiotechnology."—Nikhil R. Jana, Centre for Advanced Materials, Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Kolkata, India"This book, focused principally on development and application of nanomaterials in the biomedical field, gives an overview on the characterization and preparation of nanoparticles and polymeric matrices assembled and bio-inspired to nature. Written by an international team of experts in biology and chemistry, it emphasizes the need for a more stringent approach to better integrate chemistry, physics and biology for solving the many aspects of the tissue and organs engineering open until today. Offering a good overview on nano-biomaterials as medical devices, drug delivery and tissue engineering systems, the book may be of help not only to specialists on polymer materials, dermatologists, plastic surgeons and clinicians, but also to students in chemistry and medicine and marketing specialists who should like to know more in deep and different interdisciplinary aspects of Nanobiotechnology."—Journal of Applied Cosmetology, July/December 2017
