Biomaterials for Delivery and Targeting of Proteins and Nucleic Acids

Newcomers to the field of biopharmaceuticals require an understanding of the basic principles and underlying methodology involved in developing protein- and nucleic acid-based therapies for genetic and acquired diseases.Introducing the principles of polymer science and chemistry, this book delineates the basic biology required for understanding how biomaterials can be used as drug-deliver vehicles. No book to date combines a discussion of high-tech biomaterials-based delivery of protein and nucl
