Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology, 2 Volumes

Dieses Fachbuch legt den Schwerpunkt auf konkrete Methoden und die jüngsten Fortschritte bei der Anwendung von Nanotechnologie für die Entwicklung neuer medikamentöser Therapieansätze und die medizinische Diagnostik. Von den Grundlagen der Nanopharmazie, einschließlich Charakterisierung und Herstellungsverfahren, bis hin zur Rolle von Nanopartikeln und Wirkstoffen wird das Fachgebiet umfassend dargestellt. Anwendungsbeispiele beziehen sich auf Fragestellungen bei der Medikamentenentwicklung und die Übertragung auf die klinische Praxis, Marktchancen und Aspekte der industriellen Vermarktung. Die beschriebenen Anwendungen stammen aus der Behandlung von Krebserkrankungen und weiteren wichtigen Therapiebereichen wie Infektionskrankheiten und Dermatologie. Abgerundet wird das Fachbuch durch eine ausführliche Erörterung sicherheitsrelevanter, rechtlicher und gesellschaftlicher Fragen.
Geschrieben von einem erstklassigen Team von Herausgebern und Autoren, die zu den führenden Experten in Europa und den USA sowie zu den Pionieren der Nanopharmazie gehören.

Autorentext
Jean Cornier is presently consultant to several companies in the areas of life science, new technologies and business development. He obtained his PhD from the University of Caen, France, and a MSc degree in pharmaceutical medicine from the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany.

Zusammenfassung
With its focus on concrete methods and recent advances in applying nanotechnology to develop new drug therapies and medical diagnostics, this book provides an overall picture of the field, from the fundamentals of nanopharmacy with the characterisation and manufacturing methods to the role of nanoparticles and substances. Actual examples of utilization include drug development issues, translation to the clinic, market prospects, and industrial commercialization aspects. The applications described are taken from cancer treatment as well as other major therapeutic areas, such as infectious diseases and dermatology. An in-depth discussion on safety, regulatory, and societal aspects rounds off the book.
Written by a top team of editors and authors composed of the leading experts in Europe and the USA who have pioneered the field of nanopharmacy!
