Bioengineering Innovative Solutions for Cancer bridges the gap between bioengineering and cancer biology. It focuses on a 'bottom up' understanding of the links between molecules, cells, tissues, organs, organisms, and health and functions-all within a bioengineering context. Chapters cover the main methods, technologies and devices that could help diagnose cancer sooner (e.g., ultrasensitive imaging and sensing technologies) and helpful treatments (e.g., new, more targeted therapies). The book takes an interdisciplinary approach that is ideal for those who need the latest information on design techniques and devices that help treat cancer using new, more targeted therapies. By covering the many different ways engineers can deliver innovative solutions to tackle cancer, this book is a valuable read for researchers who have an ambition to make an impact on people's life in either an academic or industrial setting. Connects bioengineering and cancer biology, providing information on sensors, imaging, therapies and in-vitro modelsPresents the most comprehensive coverage in the field of cancer engineering to dateProvides an academic introduction to (molecular) bioengineering for students, regardless of scientific background (maths, physics, chemistry, biology)Highlights the unmet medical needs for bioengineers and the main technological breakthroughs to cancer biologists INDICE: 1.
