Applications of Nanobiotechnology for Neglected Tropical Diseases
Description
Key Features
- Offers a broad overview of nanobiotechnology applied to the prevention, diagnostics, and treatment of NTDs
- Presents cutting-edge recent advances in nanobiotechnology, focusing on diseases reported by the World Health Organization’s NTDs Roadmap (e.g., leishmaniasis, malaria, schistosomiasis, filariasis, etc.)
- Provides a deep discussion about ground-breaking approaches designed to meet the medical needs of patients suffering from NTDs
- Gives examples of multidisciplinary investigations into NTDs, from research labs to clinics
Readership
Undergraduate and graduate students, scientists and professors in multidisciplinary fields such as immunology, microbiology, biotechnology, nanomedicine, chemical and material engineering and pharmaceutical technology. Readers of interrelated areas such as parasitology, immunology or infectology may also be included in a target audience. Still, technicians and R&D corporate personal of biotech and pharmaceutical industries are potential readers
