Medical Nanotechnology and Nanomedicine

This accessible guide reviews advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology and considers their applications in medicine. Providing an introduction to both the science and the infrastructure required to support these advances, this volume is written for non-experts, which can include medical researchers and clinicians, as well as those concerned with business aspects, regulation, and the administration of medical practices. The book provides a contextual background including history, definitions, and recent trends, and then investigates current and future nanotech applications in medicine and the biomedical sciences.
