Analytical Biotechnology presents a set of technologies that provide state-of-the art tools for genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, drug discovery, screening, and analysis of biomolecules such as DNA, proteins, and small metabolites. Thus, the book covers topics from immunoassays and biochips to nano-biochemistry. Moreover, it aims to apply advanced automation and microfabrication technology to the development of biosensor devices as well as integrated systems. This volume promotes cross-disciplinary approaches directed toward solving key problems in biology and medicine. Each chapter...
