Biomaterials for Delivery and Targeting of Proteins and Nucleic Acids

Readers of Biomaterials for Delivery and Targeting of Proteins and Nucleic Acids will be introduced to the principals of polymer science and chemistry as well as the basic biology required for understanding how biomaterials can be used drug-delivery vehicles. No book to date combines a discussion of high-tech biomaterials-based delivery of drugs with the pharmaceutics or biocompatibility aspects. Featuring contributions from worldwide leading experts, the text includes in-depth discussion about what physiochemical parameters can be used for the design, development and evaluation of biotechnological dosage forms for delivery of proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides and genes.
