Biography
Nihal Engin Vrana is the director of fundamental research at Protip Medical. He earned his Ph.D from Dublin City University as a Marie Curie early-stage researcher fellow. Dr. Vrana is the scientific coordinator of two European projects, EuroTransBio Bimot and FP7 IMMODGEL. He has authored 32 articles in peer-reviewed academic journals, four book chapters, and two European patents. His awards include the Parlar Foundation Thesis of the Year (2006) award, European Society for Biomaterials Translational Research award (2011), 2nd Aegean R&D Patent competition 1st place award (2012), and Intelligent Fiber Optic Systems Outstanding Paper award (2013).
"The book is written in a clear manner by scientists working in the field. The pages are beautifully illustrated and each chapter concludes with plenty of references. I would recommend this book to anyone working in nanotechnology, advanced optics issues, and especially to people working in life sciences."
