Engineering in Translational Medicine (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Cai, Weibo

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book covers a broad area of engineering research in translational medicine. Leaders in academic institutions around the world contributed focused chapters on a broad array of topics such as: cell and tissue engineering (6 chapters), genetic and protein engineering (10 chapters), nanoengineering (10 chapters), biomedical instrumentation (4 chapters), and theranostics and other novel approaches (4 chapters). Each chapter is a stand-alone review that summarizes the state-of-the-art of the specific research area.

Engineering in Translational Medicine gives readers a comprehensive and in-depth overview of a broad array of related research areas, making this an excellent reference book for scientists and students both new to engineering/translational medicine and currently working in this area.

Rezensionen

From the book reviews:

"This book may be considered an invaluable resource at first for scientists who want to have an updated overview of the whole scenario or a reference book to easily find information on the most advanced procedures. Furthermore, this publication may be very useful either for the training of students and residents, who may learn the fundamentals of translational medicine, or for the continuing education of clinicians already working in a medical practice." (Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Medicine, Vol. 41, 2014)
