Opis

Drug delivery by nanoparticulates and nanocoatings for medicial devices are among the many new techniques on the horizon. Years from now we may laugh at the approaches to treating disease we currently consider state of the art. To prepare for the future of medicine, biomedical engineers must have an understanding of the role of bionanotechnology.
