Nanogels: Fundamentals to Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Applications

Nanogels: Fundamentals to Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Applications provides a comprehensive overview of nanogels, focusing on design principles, crosslinking methods, and therapeutic agent delivery. It covers nanogels' thermal properties, stabilization, chemical modifications, and biocompatibility. The book details biomedical applications, including bioimaging, sensing, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. It also explores in-vivo assessments, responsive therapies, and safety considerations, including toxicity, clearance mechanisms, and immunological responses, offering new insights into nanogel technology.Nanogels: Fundamentals to Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Applications offers an exciting look into this emerging area and is of particular interest to healthcare professionals and researchers working on nanocarrier-based drug delivery, focusing on porous nanogel nanocarriers.

Anurag Kumar Singh is a Research Associate in Department of Pharmaceutical Engineering and Technology, Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi, India. Dr. Vivek Kumar Chaturvedi is a Young-Scientist Fellow (Department of Health Research, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare) at the Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (India). He earned his Ph.D. in Biotechnology from the University of Allahabad (a central university), Prayagraj, India. He had a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Gastroenterology, IMS-BHU, Varanasi. He received his B.Sc. degree in Zoology, Chemistry, and M.Sc. degree in Biochemistry from Veer Bahadur Singh Purvanchal University (VBSPU), Jaunpur, India. Dr. Chaturvedi currently actively engaged in drug delivery, tissue engineering, synthesis and functionalization of bio-nanomaterials as well as their fabrication for the development of various biosensors. He has voluntarily served as a reviewer, published many original articles in peer-reviewed high-impact journals along with many international books, magazine articles, and chapters. Santosh Kumar Singh is a Senior Scientist at the Centre of Experimental Medicine & Surgery, Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. Dr. Jay is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry, Institute of Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, India, since 2017. He received his Ph.D. degree in Polymer Science from Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology in 2010 and did MSc and BSc from Allahabad University, India. He is actively engaged in the development of nanomaterials (CeO2, NiO, rare-earth metal oxide, Ni, Nife2O4, Cu2O, Graphene, RGO etc.), based nanobiocomposite, conducting polymer and self-assembled monolayers based clinically important biosensors for estimation of bioanalaytes such as cholesterol, xanthine, glucose, pathogens and pesticides/toxins using DNA and antibodies. He is actively engaged in fabricating metal oxide-based biosensors for clinical diagnosis, food packaging applications, drug delivery, and tissue engineering applications.
