Advances in Biomedical Engineering and Technology (eBook)

This book comprises select peer-reviewed papers presented at the International Conference on Biomedical Engineering Science and Technology: Roadway from Laboratory to Market (ICBEST 2018) organized by Department of Biomedical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. The book covers latest research in a wide range of biomedical technologies ranging from biomechanics, biomaterials, biomedical instrumentation to tele-medicine, internet of things, bioinformatics, medical signal and image processing. The contents aim to bridge the gap between laboratory research and feasible market products by identifying potential technologies to enhance functionalities of diagnostic and therapeutic devices. The book will be of use to researchers, biomedical engineers, as well as medical practitioners.

Albert Rizvanov (Ph.D., Dr. Sci.) graduated from Kazan State University, Russia (biology, microbiology) in 1996. After completing his Ph.D. (2003) in cellular and molecular biology at the University of Nevada, Reno, USA, he undertook his Dr. Sci. (2011) in biochemistry (Habilitation) at Kazan Federal University (KFU), Russia. Currently, Albert Rizvanov is a Professor and Director of the Center for Precision and Regenerative Medicine, Institute of Fundamental Medicine and Biology, KFU.
