Overview

Research on biomedical applications of nanomaterials has exhibited the rapidly evolving field of biomedical sciences by showing how effective they are in treatment. These particles hold considerable potential for biomedical applications. Work is ongoing, and the results suggest a possibility for a sustainable future for nanomaterials in both therapeutic and biomedical fields.  This book highlights current and emerging applications, taking global research findings into consideration. We believe the focus on the identification and role of nanomaterial applications in therapeutic and biomedical sciences can lead to novel solutions in the fields. The chapters of this book are disseminated in a manner that can be readily adopted as sources for new and further study. The editors integrate advanced texts in their research that help graduate students, researchers and professors. Additionally, we believe that international readers will be able to make use of this book for reference purposes.

Cairo University, Giza, Egypt in 2011, University of Western Australia, Perth, 2016, and Hamburg University, Germany in 2016, and University of Texas at El Paso, 2017-18.   Dr. Sonam Gupta obtained her Ph.D. from Department of Biotechnology, IIT Roorkee in 2019. Currently, she is working as a lecturer at the Department of Biotechnology, NIT Raipur, India from the past two years. She has got merit first rank in her masters and awarded with gold medal from Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. She availed GATE 2012 and prestigious DST-INSPIRE fellowship for pursuing PhD. During her PhD tenure, she worked on the biomedical applications of a surface-active glycolipid in terms of anticancer, antibiofilm, wound healing and antiulcer activities.
