Nanobiomedicine: Fundamentals and Implementation in Theranostic Applications

Nanobiomedicine: Fundamentals and Implementation in Theranostic Applications explores how the fusion of nanotechnology, biotechnology, and medicine is transforming modern healthcare. Addressing the limitations of conventional diagnostics and therapies, the book explains how nanoparticles enable targeted drug delivery, improved imaging, and combined diagnostic-therapeutic (theranostic) applications, especially in cancer care. Chapters cover the fundamentals of nanomaterials, their use in photodynamic therapy, immunotherapy, and gene therapy, and their role in protecting and transporting drugs, DNA, and RNA. The book also highlights the growing impact of Artificial Intelligence, with applications in Alzheimer’s detection, AI-driven drug discovery, and ML/DL-based nanomedicine design. Key Features Explain nanoparticle-based drug and gene delivery for targeted treatment Demonstrate theranostic applications integrating diagnosis and therapy Highlight nanomedicine in cancer treatment to reduce damage to healthy cells Explore AI-assisted diagnostics and drug discovery for personalised healthcare Present emerging nanomaterial strategies for imaging, formulation, and acute therapy
