About this ebook

Micro and Nano Colloids and Their Biomedical Applications offers a comprehensive exploration of the preparation methods, characterization techniques, and real-world applications of micro and nano colloids in the fields of drug delivery, sensory technology, imaging, cosmetics, food preservation, in vitro diagnostics, and cutting-edge theranostics. It covers a wide range of nanoparticles, including liposomes, magnetic nanoparticles, latex particles, thin films, and silica-based and metal oxides nanomaterials. With a focus on showcasing the state-of-the-art and most recent developments across various life science-related disciplines, this book serves as a valuable reference for researchers and industry professionals in the fields of nanotechnology, colloidal chemistry, and biotechnology. - Provides comprehensive, up-to-date overviews on the micro and nano colloid field and its cutting-edge research - Covers key principles, synthesis, characterization, and unique properties of several different nanoparticles, such as liposomes, magnetic nanoparticles, and latex particles - Presents new insights into the role that micro and nano colloids can play in the fields of drug delivery, biomedical sensing, diagnostics, imaging, cosmetics, theranostics, and more

About the author

Abdelhamid Elaissari is Research Director (DR1) at CNRS, University of Lyon-1, Lyon, France, and received his undergraduate education from Agadir University, Morocco, in 1988. He moved to Louis Pasteur University (ICS-laboratory), Strasbourg, France, in which he received PhD degree in polymers and colloids (Physical-Chemistry domain) in 1991. He got a permanent position in CNRS in 1991 and then he joined CNRS-bioMerieux at ENS-Lyon laboratory, in which he has developed colloids for biomedical applications including in vivo, in vitro, and bionanotechnologies. In 2007, he moved to Engineering Processes and Automatic Laboratory (LAGEP at University of Lyon-1) in which he has been acting as a deputy director and developing smart nanocapsules for drug delivery and for in vitro biomedical applications. Since 2021, he joined ISA (Institute for Analytical Science) for developing smart nanoparticles integrated into microsystems for quick biosensor detection, samples preparation and for connected technologies.

Dr Sumera Khizar is a post-doctoral researcher at ISA (Institute for Analytical Science), Claude Bernard University of Lyon-1, France. Her research work is focused on synthesis of organic and inorganic nanoparticles for bionanotechology application and mainly for theranostic applications. She is also conducting DNA/nanoparticles interactions for gene delivery in joint collaboration with the industry sector.

Dr. Ebtesam A. Al-Suhaimi is a Professor at the Department of Biology (Endocrinology & immunology), Science College, Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University (IAU), Saudi Arabia, and the Dean of the Institute for Research and Medical Consultations at the same institution. She has more than 25 years of research and teaching experience in Endocrinology, Physiology, Immunology, Neuroscience, and Biology.
