  • Summary

    Nanomedicine is the intersection of the field of nanotechnology with the field of medicine. In order to understand the basis for this intersection, it is first important to learn a little bit about nanotechnology in general as well as a few fundamentals of medicine and specific fields of science and engineering. In this book, I will use an approach to teachingcalled the “spiral approach.” The idea is to first introduce a concept at a very simple level and then gradually peel away the layers to go into greater depth and level of understanding, like peeling back the layers of an onion. I will introduce basic concepts in earlier chapters and then go into much more detail in later chapters.
