Carbon Nanomaterials for Bioimaging, Bioanalysis, and Therapy
A comprehensive reference on biochemistry, bioimaging, bioanalysis, and therapeutic applications of carbon nanomaterials
Carbon Nanomaterials for Bioimaging, Bioanalysis, and Therapy begins with a general introduction to carbon nanomaterials for biomedical applications, including a discussion about the pros and cons of various carbon nanomaterials for the respective therapeutic applications. It then goes on to cover fluorescence imaging; deep tissue imaging; photoacoustic imaging; pre-clinical/clinical bioimaging applications; carbon nanomaterial sensors for cancer and disease diagnosis; targeted cancer therapy; and photothermal/photodynamic therapy.
- Provides an introduction to the biomedical applications of carbon nanomaterials for early-career scientists, as well as background and context for mid-career scientists and researchers
- Contains three sections covering the basics of carbon nanomaterials, bioimaging and bioanalysis, and therapeutic applications
- Covers a hot area of research which has very unique physical properties, versatile functionalization chemistry, and biological compatibility
This book is an excellent resource for academic researchers and industrial scientists working on preparation and bio-application of carbon nanomaterials, biomedical engineering, and nanotechnology.
