About the Book

The book navigates you through subjects such as bionanotechnology, nanomedicine, nanotoxiclogy, dendrimers, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, and microscopy.

It is an authoritative book written for a broad audience. Nanotechnology in biology and medicine: methods, devices, and applications provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of nanomaterials that integrates interdisciplinary research to present the most recent advances in protocols, methods, instrumentation, and applications of nanotechnology in biology and medicine.

The book discusses research areas in medicine where nanotechnology would play a prominent role. These areas include:

 

o       Drug Development

o       Detection of protein and probing DNA structure

o       Tumour destruction by heating and tumour dragging by magnets

o       Tissue engineering

o       Diagnosis and biodetection of pathogens

o       New biomedical devices

o       Fluorescent biological markers

It is a valuable resource for engineers, scientists, researchers, and professionals in a wide range of disciplines whose focus remains on the power and promise of nanotechnology in biology and medicine.

 

The book also provides an overview of different legal doctrines that are relevant to nanotechnology and explains how they may apply in the development, commercialization, and use of nanoproducts. Societal implications and economical impacts of nanotechnology are also discussed.

 

Many images are included to provide concrete illustrations, to attract attention, to aid retention, and to enhance understanding of the world of nanobioengineering.

 

 


About the Author

Amin Elsersawi is a Canadian author, engineer and by consensus a biochemist. He received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering with emphasis in power electronic from Bradford University , U.K in 1980.

He is a professional engineer registered with the Professional Engineering Society of Ontario Canada

Dr. Elsersawi is currently retired. He previously served as general director for notable power generation and distribution energy utility. Prior to that, he was a chief of electrical engineering for the Public Work and Government Services Canada. He published more than 100 papers and reports in engineering and mathematic, biology, astronomy, and chemistry. He spent more than 15 years in teaching at universities and colleges. His main research interests are twentieth-century engineering, astronomy and chemistry. His interests in astronomy took off at the age of 50, when he showed a great interesting in leaning toward mathematical and behavioral astronomy. He compiled his own celestial mechanics algorithms for the precise computation of astrophysics of planets and constellations, and other phenomena such as weak energy, dark universe, quantum radiations and lights.

He presented several reports, articles and essays in chemistry and chemical engineering at several seminars and conferences. He is the author of the book Chemistry, Biology and Cancer: the Bond, the book the Atom and the Universe: Theories and Facts unfold, and the book Biochemistry of Aging: Wellness and Longevity.

Dr. Elsersawi and his wife, Randa, have been happily married since 1969 and have three children. First daughter, a University of Toronto graduate is a practicing gynecological and obstetrician. The second daughter, a graduate in psychology from York University, and the son, a graduate in electrical engineering from Western Ontario University. Dr. Elsersawi and Randa are the proud grandparents of seven.
