Functional Nanomaterials - Applications in Medicine and Life Sciences

Nanoparticles (NPs) offer an innovative platform for targeted cancer diagnosis and therapy. Advanced synthesis and surface functionalization strategies facilitate reversible binding and triggered release of drugs. NPs are also excellent contrast agents for clinical imaging techniques. This book discusses current and future applications of functional nanoparticles in oncology, as well as strategies for tailoring novel multifunctional nanomaterials.
