This book offers a comprehensive and diverse perspective on the new discipline of nanomedicine, bridging the gap between nanotechnology and medicine through contributions by world-renowned experts from academia, industry, government and healthcare.

Increasing demand for and awareness of the applications of nanotechnology in medicine has resulted in the emergence of a new fast-growing multidisciplinary area - nanomedicine. This book offers comprehensive knowledge of and diverse perspectives on nanomedicine through two independent volumes. It aims to bridge the gap between nanotechnology and medicine through contributions by world-renowned experts from wide range of backgrounds including academia, industry, professional consultancy, and government agencies.

Each contribution integrates knowledge from a wide range of areas to present the fundamentals of new applications and products of nanomedicine, as well as an outlook for the future. This book can well serve as a reference and guide for students, academics, researchers, scientists, engineers, clinicians, government researchers, and healthcare professionals.

Up-to-date, in-depth, and integrated knowledge of nanotechnology applications to medicine

Academia, industry, government agencies, and the health care system all represented among the contributors

The book's format is based on the established and renowned graduate course at Cranfield University along with series of worldwide short courses/conferences on nanomedicine
