Nano-Biosensors, Drug Delivery and Tissue Engineering: Advances in Nanobiotechnology

This book highlights a novel combination of nanotechnology and biotechnology enabling the practical use of conventional microtechnology in conjunction with a molecular approaches in cancer detection and treatment. As nanotechnology and biotechnology have advanced, the methods such as nanoimaging, nanobiosensing, nanolabeling, nanodiagnostics, and nanotherapeutics have developed. The pricey old manufacturing process will be replaced by the new expanding field of nanobiotechnology, which will produce durable, flexible, and accurate devices at a lower cost and with less environmental impact. Drug distribution, sensor systems, small robots, and surgical instruments might all benefit from the development of stronger materials made possible by this technique. Nanobiotechnology may be used to create atomic grade machines by merging or simulating biological processes or creating tiny tools to alter many aspects of the living system at the molecular level. This book presents a state-of-the art technology that enhances our existing knowledge and ideas integrating chemistry, physics, and biology. The book discusses a number of cutting edge medical technologies that use nanoparticles as delivery or sensing systems are examples of nanobiotechnology as they employ nanotechnology to further biological objectives.

Dr. Seyed Morteza Naghib received his Ph.D. in biomedical engineering from Tehran Polytechnique (2014) and M.ASc. (2010) and B.ASc. (2009) degrees from Amirkabir University of Technology both in biomedical engineering (biomaterials). His research interests are in the areas of tissue engineering, medical nanotechnology, nanobiomaterials, nanocarriers, and nanobiosensors. He also published 3 books in the field entitled “Localized Micro/Nanocarriers for Programmed and On-Demand Controlled Drug Release”, “Electrochemical Biosensors in Practice: Materials and Methods”, and “Green plant extract-based synthesis of multifunctional nanoparticles and their biological activities”.
