Description:
Early diagnosis of cancer and other non-oncological disorders gives a significant advantage for curing the disease and improving patient's life expectancy. Recent advances in biosensor-based techniques which are designed for specific biomarkers can be exploited for early diagnosis of diseases. Biosensor Based Advanced Cancer Diagnostics covers all available biosensor-based approaches and comprehensive technologies; along with their application in diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic management of various oncological disorders. Besides this, current challenges and future aspects of these diagnostic approaches have also been discussed. This book offers a view of recent advances and is also helpful for designing new biosensor-based technologies in the field of medical science, engineering and biomedical technology.
Biosensor Based Advanced Cancer Diagnostics helps biomedical engineers, researchers, molecular biologists, oncologists and clinicians with the development of point of care devices for disease diagnostics and prognostics. It also provides information on developing user friendly, sensitive, stable, accurate, low cost and minimally invasive modalities which can be adopted from lab to clinics. This book covers in-depth knowledge of disease biomarkers that can be exploited for designing and development of a range of biosensors. The editors have summarized the potential cancer biomarkers and methodology for their detection, plus transferring the developed system to clinical application by miniaturization and required integration with microfluidic systems.
Brief description: Sunil Kumar Sanghi was working as Chief Scientist, Professor and head at Microfluidics & MEMS Centre, CSIR-Advanced Materials and Processes Research Institute, Bhopal, India. His past research areas were development of manual and automated procedures for all kinds of analytes in biomedical, pharmaceutical and environmental samples using micro liquid, capillary gas chromatographic and capillary electrophoretic separation techniques in combination with sample preparation, derivatization and reaction-detection systems, micro-chip-based separation under the concept of lab-on-a-chip. Dr. Sanghi has successfully completed several International and national collaborative R & D projects viz. Indo- European Union, Indo - French, NMITLI etc. He was awarded the reputed Marie Curie Fellowship of European Union, and worked as a visiting scientist for three years at the University of Amsterdam and Institute Curie, Paris. He holds an experience of 35 years in R&D and teaching. Recently, Dr. Sanghi has received the National Meritorious Innovation Award 2021 from Government of India.
