Foreword
The Handbook of Nanomedicine provides a thorough guide to this new and very important interdisciplinary area of science and technology. It provides both the basics and a classification system for nanomedicine. Important areas such as nanoarrays, nanofluidics, nanoparticles, nanogenomics, nanoproteomics, nanobiotechnology, nanomolecular diagnostics, and nanopharmaceuticals are evaluated. The role of biotechnology in biological therapies, and in particular oncology, is discussed. Nanodevices in surgery and medicine are also examined. Another important focus of the handbook is the role of nanomedicine in medical specialty areas—particularly in neurology, cardiology, dermatology, pulmonology, geriatrics, orthopedics, and ophthalmology. Nanomedicine in microbiology and in
