New materials and manufacturing techniques are evolving with the potential to address the challenges associated with the manufacture of medicinal products that will teach new tricks to old drugs. Nano- and microfabrication techniques include manufacturing methods such as additive manufacturing, lithography, micro-moulding, spray drying, and supercritical fluids among many others. The increasing resolution of new techniques allow researchers to produce objects with micrometric resolutions. This book follows a consecutive order, beginning with a background in the current field and limitations in the manufacturing of different pharmaceutical products, moving on the classification of each method by providing recent examples, and future prospective on a variety of traditional and new Nano and microfabrication techniques. A focus on the materials used to prepare these systems and their biocompatibility, including applied topics such as clinical applications and regulatory aspects also covered, offering the reader a holistic view of this rapidly growing field.

Dimitrios Lamprou (Ph.D., MBA) is Professor (Chair) of Biofabrication and Advanced Manufacturing at Queen’s University Belfast. Prof Lamprou lab is applying Nano and Microfabrication Techniques in the Manufacturing of Drug Delivery Systems, Medical Devices & Implants. He has trained in multidisciplinary areas, worked in projects across disciplines, and in first class laboratories in a number of countries. To date, he has over 130 peer-reviewed publications in leading international journals and over 350 conference abstracts, and has over 130 Oral Talks in the area of Nano/Microfabrication.
