Application of Quantum Dots in Biology and Medicine
Springer Verlag, Singapore
978-981-19-3143-7 (ISBN)
This book illustrates various applications of quantum dots (QDs) in the biomedical field and future perspectives. It first introduces the synthesis procedures and fundamental properties of QDs. In addition, the optical detection techniques and toxicologic reviews of QDs are presented. A focus of the book is also on the applications of QDs in cancer therapy, drug delivery, bio-sensing, and targeted molecular therapy. This book is exciting and valuable to a wide variety of readership communities (students, early-stage researchers, and scientists) in the various fields of biology and medicine.
Dr. Puspendu Barik received his Ph.D. in Physics from Visva-Bharati University (a Central University), India, in 2013. Dr. Barik was subsequently a research associate at Visva-Bharati, India. He worked as Dr. D. S. Kothari Postdoctoral Fellow (2016–19) for his postdoctoral work at IISc, India, and DGAPA postdoctoral fellow at UNAM, Mexico (2014–16). Dr. Barik also worked as a Project Scientist – D at TRC, S N Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, India (2019-21). Currently, he is working as an active researcher at S N Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences. His research interests include SERS, nanocomposites, photonic–plasmonic structures, evanescent waves, plasmonic luminescent solar concentrator devices, gas sensing materials using plasmonic nanocomposites. He has co-authored more than 30 publications, including research papers, book chapters, and reviews. Dr. Samiran Mondal received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Visva-Bharati (a Central University), India in 2012. At present, he holds the position of Assistant Professor of Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry, Rammohan College, Kolkata, India since 2015. After receiving his PhD degree, he moved to the Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University, Japan in 2012 as a prestigious HFSP Postdoctoral Fellow and worked with Nobel Laureate Professor Tasuku Honjo. His research interests are primarily focused on small molecules based drug discovery. In this direction, presently, he is involved in the modulation of protein-protein interaction with small molecules particularly relevant to the discovery of novel therapeutic agents for cancer therapies, development of naturally occurring small molecules and their synthetic analogs with potential antiviral efficiency, studying the mechanism of amyloid aggregation related with Diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and other neurodegenerative diseases. Dr. Mondal has published more than 20 research papers.
