One of the ways of making drug delivery more efficient is the use of nanosystems for targeted delivery and timed release. This new monograph in the ASME-Momentum Press series on Biomedical & Nanomedical Technologies will explore the latest research on nanoparticulate delivery systems for the immune modulating agent, GMDP (N-acetylglucosaminyl-N-acetylmuramyl-Lisoglutamine), an important component in cell wall structure and receptors. Silica nanoparticles in particular have shown great promise in enhanced delivery of drugs targeted at this cellular wall component.This concise monograph series focuses on the implementation of various engineering principles in the conception, design, development, analysis and operation of biomedical, biotechnological and nanotechnology systems and applications. Each volume is written in an accessible manner and in a concise and manageable length, and will provide an invaluable resource for initial enquiries about technologies, encapsulating the latest developments and applications with reference sources for further detailed information.
Jo Rushworth received her BSc in Biochemistry in 2005 and her Wellcome Trust-funded PhD in 2012 from the University of Leeds. Jo also carried out research projectsat the Sainsbury Laboratory (Norwich, UK) and the Université deParis-Sud (France). In between her degree and PhD, Jo was a high-school Chemistry teacher. Jo studied the molecular and structural biology of amyloid-beta oligomers, a causative agent of Alzheimer's disease, during herPhD. She is now integrating her Alzheimer's research background with herinterest in electrochemical biosensors to develop impedimetric sensors forthe specific detection of biologically-relevant amyloid-beta oligomers. Natalie Hirst gained a BSc in Experimental Pathology in 2005, before a Medicaldegree in 2006 from the University of London, Barts and the LondonSchool of Medicine and Dentistry. She is a member of the Royal Collegeof Surgeons of England, having passed the requisite examination. She iscurrently in her final year of study for a PhD with the Bionanotechnology Group at the University of Leeds, having taken time out of full time surgicaltraining. Her current research is the development of electrochemical biosensorsfor early detection of complications after bowel surgery.
