Immune Aspects of Biopharmaceuticals and Nanomedicines

Available from CRC Press

1st Edition
Raj Bawa, Janos Szebeni, Thomas J Webster, Gerald F. Audette

The enormous advances in the immunology of biotherapeutics and nanomedicines in the past two decades have necessitated an authoritative and comprehensive reference that can be relied upon by immunologists, biomedical researchers, physicians, pharmaceutical and formulation scientists, clinicians, regulatory personnel, technology transfer officers, venture capitalists, and policy makers alike.

The Physics of the Mind and Brain Disorders

Frank Boehm (NanoApps Medical CEO) and Angelika Domschke contributed the chapter : “Application of a Conceptual Nanomedical Platform to Facilitate the Mapping of the Human Brain: Survey of Cognitive Functions and Implications”.

The book covers recent advances in the understanding of brain structure, function and disorders based on the fundamental principles of physics. It covers a broad range of physical phenomena occurring in the brain circuits for perception, cognition, emotion and action, representing the building blocks of the mind.

It provides novel insights into the devastating brain disorders of the mind such as schizophrenia, dementia, autism, aging or addictions, as well as into the new devices for brain repair.

The book is aimed at basic researchers in the fields of neuroscience, physics, biophysics and clinicians in the fields of neurology, neurosurgery, psychology, psychiatry.

The Physics of the Mind and Brain Disorders is available in both hardcover and ebook from Springer Press.

Neurophotonics and Brain Mapping

Frank Boehm contributed to Neurophotonics and Brain Mapping, edited by Yu Chen and Babek Kateb.

The book was released by CRC Press on April 6 2017.

About the Book

Understanding how the brain works and developing effective therapeutics are important in advancing neuroscience and improving clinical patient care. This book covers state-of-the-art research and development in optical technologies and applications for brain mapping and therapeutics. It provides a comprehensive overview of various methods developed using light, both microscopic and macroscopic techniques. Recent developments in minimally-invasive endoscopic imaging of deep brain structure and function, as well as light-based therapy are also reviewed.
