Reviews “A very interesting compilation of the translational components of the science and technology of nanomedicine and its applications to human health. . . . With a wonderful introduction, the very first chapter of this book looks at issues of drug delivery and drug targets as applied to respiratory diseases, neurological disorders, and gastric and intestinal disorders. Skin and treatment of cancer and ocular diseases, angiogenesis, cardiovascular disorder, and hypertension are also covered. Applications of nanomedicine to address issues of bacterial and parasitic disease will further make this book a valuable one. What makes this book very user-friendly is the language and the treatment of the technical content, while at the same time not compromising on the recent advancements, opportunities, and the challenges. . . . Of immense use not only to the basic scientists but also physician-scientists and clinicians who may like to get a better understanding of nano-based therapies. . . . A wonderful treatise based on expert experience with a clear bearing on applications in human health.” —From the Foreword by Dr. Seyed Ehtesham Hasnain, Vice Chancellor, Jamia Hamdard (Deemed to be University); Professor & Head, Jamia Hamdard-Institute of Molecular Medicine, Hamdard Nagar, New Delhi, India “Covers a well-engrossed concept on nanoparticles for treatment of life-threatening diseases. The book encompasses application of nanomedicines in drug targeting, which has been the focal point in research for the last two decades. The superlative collection on the application of nanomedicine in cancer chemotherapeutics definitely throws light on the complex mechanism of cancer treatment and ways to overcome it. The concept of nanomedicine in radiotherapy also relays the recent findings on the applications of radiopharmaceuticals in cancer therapy. I would say with a definite certitude that the book will prove to be an exemplary reference for academicians and scientists working in the field of nanomedicine.” —Dr. Mohammed Tahir Ansari, Head, Pharmaceutical Technology Discipline, Faculty of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Universiti Kuala Lumpur Royal College of Medicine Perak, Malaysia Now Available in Paperback CONTENTS: About the Authors / Editors: Editors: Sarwar Beg, PhD Research Scientist, Jubilant Generics Limited, Noida, U.P., India Sarwar Beg, PhD, is currently working as the Research Scientist at Jubilant Generics Limited, Noida, U.P., India, on the portfolio of QbD implementation in generic product development including solid, liquid, semisolid and injectable dosage forms.
