Nanomaterial-Based Drug Delivery Systems (eBook)

Effective drug delivery systems are essential in maximizing the therapeutic effects of the drugs in question. This book thoroughly analyses recent technological advances in new, nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. These systems also have diverse applications in pharmaceutical, biomedical, biomaterial, and biotechnological fields. This book explains the different types of nanocarriers currently in development and covers both therapeutic and theranostic applications of drug-loaded nanocarriers and nanomedicine.

Dr. Chandrakantsing Pardeshi holds Ph.D. degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences from Kavayitri Bahinabai Chaudhari North Maharashtra University (KBC NMU, Jalgaon, India). He has been involved in the development of various nanocarrier formulations for direct nose to brain drug delivery since last decade. His active areas of research includes nasal drug delivery, development of nanoparticulate formulations for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications, and polymer modifications for utilization in drug delivery. Currently, he is inventing new drug administration devices for nasal and pulmonary applications in his laboratory. He has authored more than 52 peer-reviewed international research and review articles, 1 edited book, 21 book chapters, 19 conference presentations, 1 funded research project from UGC, Government of India. He has filed 2 Indian patent applications on novel neuronanoemulsion formulations for direct nose to brain drug delivery. He is an active referee for several reputed refereed journals. He is a recipient of the Gold Medal from KBC NMU (Jalgaon, India), Excellence Award from Indian Drug Manufacturer's Association (Mumbai, India), Young Faculty Award (Kolkata, India). He has been enlisted in the Top 2% Scientists in the World Ranking released by Stanford University (USA) for two consecutive years (2021 & 2022).
