• Sommario/riassunto: This book is set to meet medical challenges such as early and effective diagnosis, high throughput drug discovery and targeted delivery, as well as modalities for organ and tissue replacement to better enable personalized medicines. This unique title aims to capture the broad nature of the field whilst maintaining focus on the key elements that establishes it as a bona fide field, making it highly attractive to both researchers and students by providing an excellent guide and learning tool for those requiring an introduction to the subject. Contributions from prominent scientists in the field of immunology, molecular biology, and delivery and material science provide “snapshots” of this interdisciplinary field assembled in a single volume. Nanomedicine is a valuable text for those working or wanting an education into this high-impact field. .
