Design, Principle and Application of Self-Assembled Nanobiomaterials in Biology and Medicine discusses recent advances in science and technology using nanoscale units that show the novel concept of combining nanotechnology with various research disciplines within both the biomedical and medicine fields. Self-assembly of molecules, macromolecules, and polymers is a fascinating strategy for the construction of various desired nanofabrication in chemistry, biology, and medicine for advanced applications. It has a number of advantages: (1) It is involving atomic-level modification of molecular structure using bond formation advanced techniques of synthetic chemistry. (2) It draws from the enormous wealth of examples in biology for the development of complex, functional structures. (3) It can incorporate biological structures directly as components in the final systems. (4) It requires that the target self-assembled structures be thermodynamically most stable with relatively defect-free and self-healing. In this book, we cover the various emerging self-assembled nanostructured objects including molecular machines, nano-cars molecular rotors, nanoparticles, nanosheets, nanotubes, nanowires, nano-flakes, nano-cubes, nano-disks, nanorings, DNA origami, transmembrane channels, and vesicles. These self-assembled materials are used for sensing, drug delivery, molecular recognition, tissue engineering energy generation, and molecular tuning.

Alok Pandya

Dr. Alok Pandya is an Interdisciplinary Researcher and Assistant Professor at Department of Engineering and Physical Sciences, Institute of Advanced Research (IAR), Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India. His research work is broadly focused on nanobiotechnology, nanochemistry, and forensic nanotechnology. He has completed his PhD from Gujarat University and awarded with GSA-CHARUSAT Best thesis award for development of various high sensitive nanoassemblies to detect metal ion, non-metal ion, biomolecule and illicit drugs in a forensic context. Later, He joined as Post-Doctoral Research Associate (2013-16) and Young Scientist (2016-17) at Division of biological Sciences, Ahmedabad University, Gujarat, India for development of point of care prognostic kit for cardiac specific biomarker using lateral flow immunoassay. In 2016, he received a first prestigious independent SERB- Young Scientist project to design and development of nanodevice for early detection of multiple cardiac specific biomarker. He has indigenously developed a vertical flow immunoassay-based immunokit for detection CRP and H-FABP. As a reflection, he received multiple translational projects from high repute funding agencies such as SERB-OPDF(Australia), DST, SERB & GSBTM. Currently, his significant research focuses on the development of affordable nanodevice for disease monitoring, agricultural nano-products, and products for societal use. He has published more than 52+ articles in high repute international Journals and published 2 full provisional Indian patent. In addition, he has published 10+ book chapters in the international publishing agency. He has published a 3 books entitled as Introduction of forensic nanotechnology as future armour (Nova Science Publisher USA), Micro/ nanofluidics and lab-on-chip based emerging technologies for biomedical and translational research applications, Volume 186 and volume 187 (Elsevier publications, Netherlands). He is also editor of journal of current nano-toxicology and prevention, Bentham Science Publisher. He has over 9+ Years’ experience of teaching in various subjects such as spectroscopy, nano-chemistry, nanobiotechnology, nano-biosensor, biochemistry, and forensic nanotechnology. He is also IAR placement cell and industrial relations coordinator, member secretary of IAR-student startup and innovation policy, Govt. of Gujarat, member secretary of IAR- Institution innovation council.
