Written by key experts in the field of nanomedicine, this book
provides a broad introduction to the important field of
nanomedicine and application of nanotechnology for drug delivery.
It covers up-to-date information regarding various nanoparticulate
drug delivery systems, describes the various opportunities for the
application of nanoparticular drug carriers in different areas of
clinical medicine, and analyzes already available information on
their clinical applications. This book can be used as an advanced
textbook by graduate students and young scientists and clinicians
at the early stages of their career. It is also suitable for
non-experts from related areas of chemistry, biochemistry,
molecular biology, biomedical engineering, physiology, experimental
and clinical medicine, and pharmaceutical sciences, who are
interested in general problems of drug delivery and drug targeting,
as well as in more specialized topics of using
nanoparticulate-mediated drug delivery approaches in the individual
areas of clinical medicine. Prof Torchilin is an expert in
Nanomedicine and a recipient of numerous awards including the Lenin
Prize in Science & Technology of the former USSR, membership in
the European Academy of Sciences, and AAPS Research Achievement
Award in Pharmaceutics and Drug Delivery. He served as an Associate
Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School before joining
Northeastern University as the Chairman of the Department of
Pharmaceutical Sciences.
