Advanced Biomaterials and Biotechnology in Drug Delivery Systems provides a detailed review of the latest developments in drug delivery biomaterials and technologies. An introduction covers the historical perspectives and current trends in the field, before exploring advances in a range of novel materials, methods, and technologies utilised in targeted drug delivery. The benefits and challenges of key biomaterials – such as polymers, peptides, and nanomaterials – are assessed, as well as rapidly-growing technologies and approaches such as gene therapy, CRISPR-Cas systems, immunotherapy, and biological response modifiers. Regulatory and translational considerations are covered, enabling readers to make informed decisions in their research. Advanced Biomaterials and Biotechnology in Drug Delivery Systems is a useful reference of use to academics and researchers in the fields of biomaterials, pharmaceutical sciences, and biotechnology. This book may also be of interest to R&D groups developing novel biomaterials and technologies for targeted drug delivery.
