Reviews “Achieves AN IMPRESSIVE OVERVIEW OF THE FIELD of nanotechnology based biosensors. It explores the design and development of various styles of sensors, and their in-vitro and in-vivo appli-cations. This book is suitable for multi-disciplinary researchers and students to get a complete back-ground and broad knowledge of nanotechnology based biosensors. . . . [Provides] a comprehensive and appropriate description of nanobiosensors and their use in developing point-of-care systems, ranging from nanosurface preparation and biofunctionalisation to nanobiosensor fabrication, covering the transition from in-vitro to in-vivo applications. Each chapter is a good combination of theory and application, including typically informative figures and examples to aid understanding.” —Biosensors and Bioelectronics, Review by Lingyin Meng, Biosensors and Bioelectronics Centre, Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology, Linköping University, Sweden “The editors (Ajeet Kaushik and Chandra Dixit) have a made good effort toward the collection of articles on different topics relating to applications of nanotechnology to biosensing . . . . The emphasis is on taking nanobiotechnology from laboratory to field. On the whole the book is a good reading and will inspire those who are currently working on technological applications of nanobiosensors.” —Bansi D. Malhotra, Professor, Department of Biotechnology, Delhi Technological University, India “This book, edited by Dr. Kaushik and Dr. Dixit, highlights the journey of biosensors from fundamentals to applied research. The advancements in nano-enabled sensing components aiming to integrate miniaturized sensing systems for health purposes are very nicely explained here. Further, in an effort to promote personalized health care, the book looks at the need for developing point-of-care sensing (POC) systems, which is well described. This book would be perfect platform for readers of every level to understand biosensors, to design of future research, and to explore strategies for POC sensing for personalized health monitoring needed for better life styles.” —Sunil K Arya, Marie Curie Fellow, Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, University of Bath, England Now Available in Paperback This valuable book explores the potential of nanosystems as a multidisciplinary science with the aim of the design and development of smart sensing technologies using micro/nano electrodes and novel nanosensing material. It discusses their integration with MEMS, miniaturized transduction systems, novel sensing strategies, and wearable sensors performing at POC for diagnostics and personalized health care monitoring. In this book, basic concepts are presented pertaining to nanobiosensor fabrication, developments in the field of smart nanomaterials, nano-enabling technologies, micro-nano hybrid platforms, and their applications in healthcare. The book is broadly divided into three categories that

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press.
