关于此电子书

**Selected for Doody's Core Titles® 2024 in Ophthalmology**Nanotechnology in Ophthalmology is a comprehensive and up-to-date reference on the role and applications of nanotechnology in ophthalmology, from drug delivery and treatment of ocular diseases to toxicity issues. Written by experts from the nanotechnology, ophthalmology, and pharmacology fields, this book has a unique, broad and diverse scope, including chapters on nanosensor-based diagnostic tools, delivery of nanobiomaterials, implantable materials and devices, delivery of nanobiomaterials, nanotechnology for medical and surgical treatment, regenerative medicine, and more. This book provides a valuable reference to researchers working in the areas of ophthalmology, nanoscience and pharmacology, and clinical fellows who are interested in nanoophthalmology as a reference for their practice and research. - Provides a comprehensive review of the literature in the area of nanoophthalmology - Discusses regenerative medicine, drug delivery, imaging, and medical device applications - Analyzes treatment strategies for emerging and multidrug-resistant ocular pathogens

作者简介

Prof. Mahendra Rai is a UGC Basic Science Research Faculty Fellow and former Head of the Department of Biotechnology at Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University, India. He is currently a senior visiting professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Federal University of Piaui (UFPI), Brazil. His areas of expertise include microbial biotechnology and nanobiotechnology, focusing on the green synthesis of metal nanoparticles using fungi and their applications as nanoantimicrobials against pathogenic microbes. His research is interdisciplinary, integrating microbial biotechnology with nanotechnology. Professor Rai has received several prestigious awards, including the Father T.A. Mathias Award from the All India Association for Christian Higher Education and the Medini Award from the Government of India. He has participated in multiple international collaborations and has held visiting positions at various institutions, including the University of Geneva (Switzerland), Debrecen University (Hungary), and Nicolaus Copernicus University (Poland).

Marcelo Occhiutto, MD, is a Physician in the Department of Anterior Segment and Refractive Surgery of the Tadeu Cvintal Institute of Ophthalmology, Brazil. He is also a Researcher at the Department of Ophthalmology and Human Genetics in the University of Campinas. His most recent research focuses on the use of nanotechnology for antiproliferative drugs in glaucoma surgeries and the identification of genetic polymorphisms that participate in the etiology of this serious eye disease.

Dr. Sushama Talegaonkar is an Associate Professor at the Department of Pharmaceutics, Delhi Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research University, India. She has approximately 21 years of experience, and has published more than 220 research papers in high impact international journals. Besides this, she has coauthored 6 books and authored 15 chapters in international reference books. Recently, she received the Professor C. J. Shishoo Award for Best Research. Her research paper titled “Development and bioavailability assessment of ramipril nanoemulsion formulation has received the most cited research paper award on behalf of Elsevier and the board of European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics. She was awarded the prestigious Motan Devi Dandiya Biennial Prize for best publication in Pharmaceutical Sciences for the period 2010–11. Dr. Talegaonkar is actively involved in developing a wide variety of smart and functionalized nanodrug delivery systems for targeted anticancer drug delivery.
