Nanobiotechnology serves as a bridge between nano and bio, with nanoscale materials providing the building blocks for the construction of the "bridge." This book
gives you a broad, interdisciplinary view of advances and applications in bionanomaterials. International contributors at the forefront of research in their disciplines explore a diverse set of topics. Coverage includes biomimetic synthesis, bioimaging and cancer diagnosis, virus-enabled manufacturing of functional nanomaterials, tumor targeting, cytotoxicity, and more. The book demonstrates the importance of bionanomaterials to biotechnology, biomedicine, and environmental remediation.
