Methods in Bioengineering: Nanoscale Bioengineering and Nanomedicine

Filling a critical gap in the current literature, this new resource presents practical, step-by-step methods to help you synthesize, characterize, biofunctionalize and apply the nanomaterial that is most suitable for handling a given nanoscale bioengineering problem. Written and presented by leading scientists and engineers in their respective fields, the authors offer a clear and detailed understanding of how to carry out: Nanoparticle functionalization with biomolecules, including enzymes,nanoparticle analysis and characterization, in-vitro evaluation of nanoparticles using different cell lines, and in-vitro evaluation of nanoparticles as therapeutics and imaging agents.
