The frontiers of microtechnology and nanotechnology are changing
the face of medicine through the efforts of researchers to build
biomedical microelectromechanical systems, or bioMEMS - tiny
working machines so small, they measure only a few millionths of a
meter across. BIOMEMS AND BIOMEDICAL NANOTECHNOLOGY, edited by
Mauro Ferrari, comprises the first comprehensive reference devoted
to all aspects of research in the diagnostic and therapeutic
applications of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS),
microfabrication, and nanotechnology. Contributions report on
fundamental and applied investigations of the material science,
biochemistry, and physics of biomedical microdevices. General
subjects treated include the design, characterization, testing,
modeling and clinical validation of microfabricated systems and
their integration on-chip and in larger functional units. Intended
to be accessible to professionals and researchers from both the
center of this fast-developing technology and adjacent fields,
BIOMEMS AND BIOMEDICAL NANOTECHNOLOGY delivers a valuable knowledge
base of key research and applications articles from acknowledged
experts on an international scope. Each volume is very well
illustrated with many figures appearing in color. This major
reference includes contributions from world renowned experts in the
field and consists of four volumes: Volume I: BIOMEDICAL AND
BIOLOGICAL NANOTECHNOLOGY (Volume Editors, Abraham Lee and James
Lee) - focuses on synthetic nanodevices and the synthesis of
nanomaterials and the generation of nanoscale features. The
nanomaterials include polymeric microspheres and nanostructures,
carbon nanotubes, silicon, silicon dioxide, and iron oxide. There
is also a chapter on the characterization of critical
nanostructures for bio applications such as nanochannels and
nanopores. The second part involves hybrid synthetic-biomolecular
nanodevices that utilize the self assembly properties of both
biomolecules and synthetic materials. Volume II: MICRO/NANO
TECHNOLOGY FOR GENOMICS AND PROTEOMICS (Volume Editors, Mihrimah
Ozkan and Michael Heller) - reports on fundamental and applied
investigations of the material science, biochemistry, and physics
of biomedical microdevices with applications to Genomics and
Proteomics. Topics include gene expression profiling utilizing
microarray technology; imaging and sensing for gene detection and
use in DNA analysis, and coverage of advanced microfluidic devices.
Volume III: THERAPEUTIC MICRO/NANOTECHNOLOGY (Volume Editors, Tejal
Desai and Sangeeta Bhatia) - treats the emerging area of
therapeutic micro- and nanotechnology. Subjects covered include:
cell-based therapeutics, regenerative medicine - merging cells with
micro- and nanosystems, and integrating MEMS with cells and
tissues; Drug delivery - intravascular nanoparticles for drug
targeting and nonvascular delivery (implantable, oral, inhalable);
molecular surface engineering for the biological interface,
biomolecule patterning and cell patterning. Volume IV: BIOMOLECULAR
SENSING, PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS (Volume Editors, Rashid Bashir and
Steve Wereley) - is a balanced review of key aspects of BioMEMS
sensors, including (i) BioMEMS sensors and materials, (ii) means of
manipulating biological entities at the microscale, and (iii)
micro-fluidics and characterization.
