Cancer Therapy: Potential Applications of Nanotechnology provides readers with a compendium of all the latest research work in cancer therapeutics, including an emphasis on work in nanotechnology and polymeric nanoparticles. While there have been a large number of ongoing research projects and publications on the treatment of cancer, there is a limited number of books related to nanotechnology, especially those with an emphasis on polymeric nanoparticles in cancer therapy. This title enlightens researchers and students and provides exhaustive knowledge on the topics covered.

Dr. Surendra Nimesh did PhD in nanotechnology from Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Center for Biomedical Science Research, University of Delhi and CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, Delhi, India. He did postdoctorate at Ecole Polytechnique of Montreal, Montreal; Clinical Research Institute of Montreal, Montreal and Health Canada, Ottawa, Canada. He has published several research and review articles and authored/coauthored seven books that includes two Elsevier books: The Design and Development of Novel Drugs and Vaccines (2021) and Gene Therapy: Potential Applications of Nanotechnology (2013). He is an internationally recognized expert of nanotechnology for biological applications with specialization in drug and gene delivery. Dr. Nidhi Gupta received PhD degree in virology from the National Institute of Immunology and Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India. She did doctoral research at Clinical Research Institute of Montreal, Montreal, and McGill University, Montreal, Canada. She has several research and review articles to her credit along with three authored/coauthored books. Her field of interest includes catalytic nucleic acids, siRNA, antisense, and nanomedicine. Dr. Guilherme Carneiro did PhD in pharmaceutical sciences from Dr. L.A.M Ferreira in the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil. After completing the doctoral research, he joined the Federal University of the Jequitinhonha and Mucuri Valleys, Brazil, as an assistant professor. His field of research includes lipid nanocarriers, hydrophobic ion pairing, cancer chemotherapy, skin permeation, neglected diseases (e.g., leishmaniasis, Chagas’ disease), cosmetics, and food and packaging application.
