Research on biomedical applications of nanomaterials has exhibited the rapidly evolving field of biomedical sciences by showing how effective they are in treatment. These particles hold considerable potential for biomedical applications. Work is ongoing, and the results suggest a possibility for a sustainable future for nanomaterials in both therapeutic and biomedical fields. This book highlights current and emerging applications, taking global research findings into consideration. We believe the focus on the identification and role of nanomaterial applications in therapeutic and biomedical sciences can lead to novel solutions in the fields. The chapters of this book are disseminated in a manner that can be readily adopted as sources for new and further study. The editors integrate advanced texts in their research that help graduate students, researchers and professors. Additionally, we believe that international readers will be able to make use of this book for reference purposes.

Hemen Sarma obtained his Ph.D. in Botany from Gauhati University [2008] and pursued postdoctoral studies at North East Hill University, Shillong [2009-10] and the Institute of Advanced Studies in Science and Technology [IASST], Guwahati [2011-12], India. He is currently senior Assistant Professor at N N Saikia College, affiliated with Dibrugarh University, Assam, India [Since 2012]. His research focus is on plant- microbiome interactions, biosurfactants, persistent organic and inorganic pollutants, sustainable remediation, molecular breeding, CRISPR/cas9 gene editing and nanobiotechnology. Important contributions were made to the bioremediation of emerging contaminants [ECs], endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) and persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Dr. Sarma has more than 50 publications to his name in peer-reviewed international journals, including conference papers and book chapters, and patents that have been published or are pending. He is the author of five books by leading international publishers John Wiley and Sons, UK and Springer Nature, USA and Elsevier USA. Dr. Sarma has contributed to the peer review process of several high-impact journals [ACS, Elsevier, Springer]. He is a review editor of Frontiers in Microbiology and the series editor of Advances in Biotechnology and Bioengineering' Elsevier INC, Cambridge, MA 02139. Dr. Sarma has 10 years of teaching experience, completed 04 research projects sponsored by the Department of Biotechnology, the Government of India and the University Grants Commission, New Delhi. He has received several awards, distinctions and fellowships, such as DBT-Overseas Associateship [2015-16] and DBT-Research Associateship [2011-12], IISc Research Associateship [2009] and UGC-Dr. DS Kothari Postdoctoral Fellowship Awards [2009-10]. In 201718, Dr. Sarma joined as an Affiliate in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Texas, El Paso, USA, in a Visitor Professor Fellowship Program. He has received a foreign travel fellowship and has visited many reputed universities for academic purpose. Cairo University, Giza, Egypt in 2011, University of Western Australia, Perth, 2016, and Hamburg University, Germany in 2016, and University of Texas at El Paso, 2017-18.

Dr. Sonam Gupta obtained her Ph.D. from Department of Biotechnology, IIT Roorkee in 2019. Currently, she is working as a lecturer at the Department of Biotechnology, NIT Raipur, India from the past two years. She has got merit first rank in her masters and awarded with gold medal from Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. She availed GATE 2012 and prestigious DST-INSPIRE fellowship for pursuing PhD. During her PhD tenure, she worked on the biomedical applications of a surface-active glycolipid in terms of anticancer, antibiofilm, wound healing and antiulcer activities. She has developed skills on different molecular biology and microbiology techniques such as Fluorescence microscopy and Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, microbroth dilution assay, surface-tension reducing assay, XTT assay, DNA/RNA isolation, cDNA synthesis and animal handlings for in vivo experiments. She has also awarded with Young Appreciation Award with One Lakh Rupee grant by SRISTI-BIRAC, Ahmedabad for grassroot innovative practice. Her research interests include biomedical applications of biosurfactants, studies on Candida  biofilm, quorum sensing, and nanomaterials and her work was published in reputed journals.

  Dr. Mahesh Narayan is a Full professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Texas at El Paso in the United States.  Dr Narayan obtained his B.Sc. in Physics from Bombay University [1991], Ph.D. in Biophysics from The Ohio State University [1997], and pursued postdoctoral studies at Cornell University, USA [1997-2000] and was a Sr. Res. Assoc. at Cornell University] [2002-05], USA. He has authored and co-authored over 85 research and review articles [Scopus] and book chapters in the fields of free radical biology, protein-structure function, oxidative folding, and protein misfolding, halogen bonding and in silico drug design, agricultural impact of nanomaterials, and chemical education. His work has been recognized by invitations to speak at over 15 international forums, as well as coverage in a variety of media outlets. The overall goal of his research program is to develop a better understanding of the intracellular processes and events that underlying the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. He is particularly interested in the effects of xenobiotics on amyloid proteins. This is since the majority of neurodegenerative disorders are sporadic, and environmental agents such as pesticides and certain drugs of abuse are risk factors for such neuropa...
