An in-depth guide to achieving super resolution medical imaging using nanotechnology and optical technology
Nano-Biophotonics reviews the basics and recent developments of this emerging field which is cross-disciplinary among nanoscience and nanotechnology, biology, and photonics. The book covers nanoscale and super resolution imaging and biomedical applications. This unique volume is particularly useful for graduate students and researchers in the field of nanoscience, biomedical engineering, and optical science and engineering who are interested in applying their knowledge in the biomedical engineering field.
Nano-Biophotonics:
- Covers fundamentals knowledge of three distinct disciplines: optics, biomedicine, and nanotechnology
- Reviews the most up-to-date research areas of nano-biophotonics
- Allow you to quickly acquire and familiarize the fundamental knowledge necessary for this emerging field
- Includes the most recent research by prominent contributors from major universities: University of Chicago, Arizona State University, and Yale Medical School
About the Author
Gabriel Popescu (Urbana, IL) is an Assistant Professor at Beckman Institute for Advanced Science & Technology, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Bioengineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He and his colleagues started the Nanobiophotonics Summer School at the Beckman Institute in 2009. The school was sponsored by the Network for Computational Nanotechnology (NCN), which is funded by the National Science Foundation. Plans for future Nanobiophotonics Summer School sessions are currently underway.
