Elsevier Nanotechnology in Modern Animal Biotechnology: Concepts and Applications

Nanotechnology in Modern Animal Biotechnology: Concepts and Applications discusses the advancement of nanotechnologies in almost every field, ranging from materials science, to food, forensic, agriculture and life sciences, including biotechnology and medicine. Nanotechnology is already being harnessed to address many of the key problems in animal biotechnology, with future applications covering animal biotechnology (e.g. animal nutrition, health, disease diagnosis, and drug delivery). This book provides the tools, ideas and techniques of nanoscale principles to investigate, understand and transform biological systems. Nanotechnology provides the ability to manipulate materials at atomic and molecular levels and also arrange atom-by-atom on a scale of ~1-100 nm to create, new materials and devices with fundamentally new functions and properties arising due to their small scale. Review A detailed exploration of nanotechnology in modern animal biotechnology About the Author Dr. Pawan Kumar Maurya, PhD is Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry, Central University of Haryana. Dr Sanjay Singh is working as an Associate Professor at the Division of Biological & Life Sciences, School of Arts & Sciences, Ahmedabad University. He obtained his MS (Biochemistry) from University of Allahabad (2004), and Doctoral degree (Biotechnology) from CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory India (2008). He expanded his research interests during his stay as postdoctoral research fellow at University of Central Florida (Orlando, USA) and Pennsylvania State University (Hershey, USA). Dr Singh’s current research interests include nanomaterial synthesis, characterization, surface modification, toxicity evaluation and biomedical uses such as targeted drug/gene delivery for cancer treatment and imaging. Development of nanoparticle based formulations with multiple drugs in desired proportion for targeting multiple signaling pathways for cancer medicines. Explore novel nanomaterials exhibiting biological enzyme (super-oxide dismutase, peroxidase, oxidase and catalase) mimetic properties. He has been bestowed with several awards such as Endeavour Research Fellowship by Government of Australia (2015), Yamagiwa-Yoshida Memorial international study grant award by Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), Japan (2016) and International Association of Advanced Materials Scientist Medal (2017). He has published 55 peer reviewed publications in international journals, has 02 (applied) patents to his credits.
