Computational nanomedicine and nanotechnology (Springer International Publishing AG)

This textbook leads readers from fundamental through advanced topics in nanomedicine and their applications with a focus on nanophototherapy for cancer-related diseases. A computer practicum, keyed to sections of the book, provides students with the fundamentals of computational problem-solving techniques used to understand and predict properties of nanoscale systems. A complete package of pedagogical materials is provided for students and teachers, including input data and tables of the physical properties of different nanoparticles, cell organelles, and biological tissues used in calculations and needed to perform the homework assignments. This book prepares students to be successful in cancer research in a multidisciplinary environment involving nanotechnology, optics, laser science, cell biology, mathematics, and physics. This book is ideal for senior undergraduate and graduate students in engineering, the physical and biological sciences, pharmaceutical sciences, and medicine.
