Biography
Cherng-ju Kim
"The book contains 22 chapters and covers a very wide range of topics. With a few exceptions, these contributions are from leaders in the field of drug delivery. The ideas and results presented are all extremely creative and interesting. This reviewer would recommend this book as it presents a broad selection of some very interesting directions that polymer drug delivery will be taking in the near future."
