Nanotechnology in Life Science

This book has been written to serve as a valuable manual for all those involved in life sciences, and who are interested in learning about how life sciences can benefit from this field. It provides an overview of emerging nanotechnology applications in the life sciences, with a focus on those applications most likely to achieve significant commercial sales globally in the near to mid-term (2005-2010). The study generally avoids futuristic speculations that might be possible 10 years or more into the future, focusing instead on application that are expected make it to market before 2010. It further identifies market drivers, evaluates obstacles to their successful commercialization and project sales of each application. It is hoped that the comprehensive and insightful nature of the book serves well for all the readers. About The Author:- B.K. Parthasarathy , a well-known teacher and researcher of physics, received his Ph.D quantum physics from England in 1982. He has a strong research background in nanoscience and technology. His areas of special interest include quantum electronic devices, semiconductor devices and materials, molecular-beam epitaxy and semiconductor processing. His research findings have appeared in several journal articles and in the proceedings of international conferences. Dr. Parthasarathy is a honorary member in the advisory bodies of many professional science magazines, and is an active communicator in the media, and at public, education, industry and science forums. He has recognized the importance of initiating nanotechnology and the need to steer their global impact on social, economic, and ethical issues. He has organised a number of seminars of nanotechnology, linking science, governments, industry, investors, international collaborators and civic groups, across the country. Contents:- Preface ?
