Nanobiotechnology for Sensing Applications

"The editors (Ajeet Kaushik and Chandra Dixit) have a made good effort toward the collection of articles on different topics relating to applications of nanotechnology to biosensing . . . . The emphasis is on taking nanobiotechnology from laboratory to field. On the whole the book is a good reading and will inspire those who are currently working on technological applications of nanobiosensors."

—Bansi D. Malhotra, Professor, Department of Biotechnology, Delhi Technological University, India

"This book, edited by Dr. Kaushik and Dr. Dixit, highlights the journey of biosensors from fundamentals to applied research. The advancements in nano-enabled sensing components aiming to integrate miniaturized sensing systems for health purposes are very nicely explained here. Further, in an effort to promote personalized health care, the book looks at the need for developing point-of-care sensing (POC) systems, which is well described. This book would be perfect platform for readers of every level to understand biosensors, to design of future research, and to explore strategies for POC sensing for personalized health monitoring needed for better life styles."

"Achieves AN IMPRESSIVE OVERVIEW OF THE FIELD of nanotechnology based biosensors. It explores the design and development of various styles of sensors, and their in-vitro and in-vivo appli-cations. This book is suitable for multi-disciplinary researchers and students to get a complete back-ground and broad knowledge of nanotechnology based biosensors. . . . [Provides] a comprehensive and appropriate description of nanobiosensors and their use in developing point-of-care systems, ranging from nanosurface preparation and biofunctionalisation to nanobiosensor fabrication, covering the transition from in-vitro to in-vivo applications. Each chapter is a good combination of theory and application, including typically informative figures and examples to aid understanding."
