By covering the science, business, and societal impact of nanomedicine, this book makes a strong case for funding of basic research, for effective translation of scientific breakthroughs into clinical care of patients, and for close collaboration among all stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem. It covers the underlying science and technology of nanomedicine in detail to help understand the great promise of nanomedicine across all disease areas. Although rich and deep in content, the book attempts to introduce the topic of nanomedicine to a wide audience. Scientific jargon is avoided and advanced terms and concepts are explained from the ground up, whenever first introduced.
The book defines nanomedicine in a broad sense, including diagnostic devices such as DNA sequencing and molecular imaging, and new therapeutic options based on targeted drug delivery, regenerative medicine, immunotherapeutics, the creation of implanted devices such as continuous glucose monitors and deep brain stimulators, and even the 3D printing of new human organs. It also covers the returns of investment in global scientific projects, such as the Human Genome Project, and the historic and emerging importance of philanthropic foundations.
Dr. Michael Hehenberger is founder of HM NanoMed LLC, Connecticut, USA. He retired after a long career with IBM at the end of 2013. He earned a Dipl. Ing. in physics from the Technical University of Vienna, Austria, and obtained his Ph.D. and Dr. Sc. degrees in quantum chemistry from Uppsala University, Sweden, in 1975–79. He also spent two years at the University of Florida, Gainesville, USA, as visiting associate professor. In 1985, he joined IBM in Stockholm, Sweden, to initiate academic partnerships in computational biology, structural engineering, computer networks, and supercomputing. Throughout his IBM career that took him to European Headquarters in Paris, California (Almaden Research, San Jose), and New York, he has led collaborations with academic and global industrial life sciences organizations. The partnerships were based on the joint desire to extend the frontiers of computational chemistry and biology, information-based medicine, biopharmaceutical research, and nanomedicine. His efforts have been documented in over 40 publications and book chapters.
