Biological and Biomedical Nanotechnology
Preface
The growing demand for nanoscale structures and devices in the biomedical field presents
significant career opportunities for future generations. Various novel materials and technologies
have been developed in recent years. There, however, lacks a comprehensive book to
systematically address this broad spectrum of new science and technologies. This volume
is intended to provide an introduction to nanoscale devices for biological and biomedical
applications. Sixteen chapters are included in this volume experts in the field of the
nanobiotechnology have contributed to this work.
The volume is divided into three parts. The first part, Synthetic Nanodevices for Biotechnology
and Biomedicine; covers the fabrication and characterization techniques of representative
nanoscale structures such as carbon nanotubes, micro/nanospheres and particles, nanopores
and nanochannels, and macro or microscale structures containing two-dimensional and threedimensional
nanoscale features made of polymers, silicon and other materials. The applications
of these nanostructures and devices for biosensing, drug delivery and bioseparation
are also introduced. The second part, Hybrid Synthetic and Biomolecular Nanodevices; focuses
on the synthesis, interface structures, and medical applications of nanodevices made
of biomolecule-polymer and biomolecule-inorganics hybrids. Finally, the third part, Computation,
Simulation, and Informatics for Bionanodevices, provides nanoscale fluid and solid
phase computation methodologies for selected biomedical applications.
We would like to thank all authors who devoted a great deal of time to make this
volume possible. We hope the collected efforts from these distinguished professionals will
present you a cohesive and balanced path into the intellectually exciting and fast evolving
nanobiotechnology field.
