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 this 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 regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, is also discussed. In addition, ethical, safety, regulatory educational, and commercialization issues are discussed. Finally, this handbook concludes with an assessment of the future of nanomedicine, which is very bright. Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, MA, USA
