The textbook by Dr Ljiljana Fruk and former postdoc Antonina Kerbs, is the first textbook on the growing field on bionanotechnology, which combines nanomaterials with biomolecular elements to provide us with new tools for tackling major global challenges.
Bionanotechnology: Concepts and Applications was named as one of the Outstanding Academic Titles of 2022 in the American Library Association (ALA) Awards. Reviewed by the ALA’s Choice magazine, 'Outstanding Academic Titles' are chosen for their 'excellence in scholarship and presentation; the significance of their contribution to the field; their originality and value as an essential treatment of their subject; and significance in building undergraduate collections'.
Written by Fruk and her former postdoc Kerbs, Bionanotechnology: Concepts and Applications, is the first textbook to merge biological science and nanotechnology, and is written with the interdisciplinarity of the field and diversity of potential readers in mind. It contains overviews of topics such as the preparation of nanomaterials, biofunctionalisation, DNA nano structuring, bio-inspired nanotechnology and applications of bio-nano hybrids in biosensing and drug delivery. With numerous figures and illustrations, 'back-to-basics' boxes and cutting-edge research examples, the book is a perfect companion to anybody interested in the field.
Published by Cambridge University Press, Bionanotechnology: Concepts and Applications is available through the CUP website and shops, as well as at other regular bookstores.
