This handbook covers the broad scope of nanomedicine. Starting with the basics, the subject is developed to potential clinical applications, many of which are still at an experimental stage. The prefix nano is used liberally and indicates the nano dimension of existing scientific disciples and medical specialties. Two important components of nanomedicine are nanodiagnostics and nanopharmaceuticals and constitute the largest chapters. Written by a physician-scientist author who blends his clinical experience and scientific expertise in new technologies, this book provides a definitive account of nanomedicine. It offers more up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of nanomedicine than any other comparable work.
