This book is an introduction to the emerging field of nanomedicine
and its applications to health care. It describes the many
multidisciplinary challenges facing nanomedicine and discusses the
required collaboration between chemists, physicists, engineers and
clinicians. The book introduces the reader to nanomedicine’s vast
potential to improve and extend human life through the application
of nanomaterials in diagnosis and treatment of disease.
