Riassunto
Progress and Prospect of Nanocarriers: Design, Concept, and Recent Advances examines the different nanocarriers that are currently being developed for specific applications in biomedical drug delivery, disease management, diagnosis and therapy. Nanosized drug delivery systems have gained tremendous amounts of clinical interest due to their effective bio-distribution and enhanced pharmacokinetic and selective targeting capability which results in high therapeutic potential, low side effects, and the generation of cost-effective drug delivery systems. Numerous effective nanocarriers have been evolving, including polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, microspheres, dendrimers, and carbon nanotubes.This book is a helpful reference for scientists and students in the fields of drug delivery, biomaterials and nanomedicine, as well as scientists and engineers in industrial disciplines of drug delivery and drug formulation.

Dr. Samaresh Sau is an Assistant Professor (Research) in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences atWayne State University, Detroit, MI. In addition, Dr. Sau is an affiliate Member Molecular Therapeutics (MT) Program at Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute. For more than 11 years, Dr. Sau has been developing potent biomarker-targeted nanoparticles, small molecules, and antibody-drug conjugates for the therapeutic benefit of cancer. Dr. Sau completed his Ph.D. from India’s premier research Institute, CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (CSIR-IICT), Hyderabad, India. Then,he undertook his first postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Chemistry at Purdue University to work with Prof. Philip S. Low, a pioneer of biomarker-targeted drug development. Working with Prof. Low and his company (Endocyte acquired by Novartis), he has been exposed and master-skilled to the process of developing clinically translatable biomarker-targeted therapeutics of cancers. Dr. Sau is the author of about 50 publications, 4 book chapters, and inventor of 2-pending patent applications. In addition, Dr. Sau is the Co-I/PI of the department of defense (DoD), National Institute of Health (NIH), and Michigan State Technology Commercialization (MTRAC) and Burroughs Wellcome Fund (BWF)-CRTG grant funding. Dr. Sau’s future research objective is to develop potent targeted therapeutic and diagnostic agents for clinical translation in cancer.
Dr. Iyer is the Director of Use-inspired Biomaterials and Integrated Nano Delivery (U-BiND) Systems Laboratory and an Associate Professor with Tenure in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, USA. He also serves as a Scientific Member of the Molecular Imaging Program (MIP) at the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, Michigan, USA.
