Biography
Sourav Bhattacharjee graduated in medicine (MBBS) in 2002 from the Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, India, obtained his MSc in biomolecular sciences from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Netherlands (2006–2008), and performed his major thesis work on investigating the pulmonary toxicity of air-borne nanoparticulate materials in Edinburgh, UK. He finished his PhD (2008–2012) with a very good thesis grade from Wageningen University, Netherlands, on nanomedicine and nanotoxicology. Dr Bhattacharjee joined University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland, as a postdoc in 2014. In February 2016, he was appointed an assistant professor at UCD, where he teaches anatomy while continuing to conduct research in nanomedicine, drug delivery, and biophotonics.
“From foundational principles to translational challenges, Principles of Nanomedicine elegantly captures the promise and complexity of nanomedicine in a rapidly evolving scientific landscape.”
Prof. Ishan Barman
Johns Hopkins University, USA
“I am glad to note that Principles of Nanomedicine has come a long way, and the second edition of this popular book among researchers, especially early-career researchers, is about to be published after a 7-year hiatus since its original publication. This new edition is revised and expanded with new information and chapters that reflect progress in the field. I hope this edition will meet expectations and gain popularity within the research community while preparing the next generation of researchers to guide future innovations in the field.”
Prof. D. Ceri Davies
Cambridge University, UK
“Informative and improved: This second edition of Principles of Nanomedicine continues to achieve excellence and encourages the future generation of researchers in the field…many more editions to come in this journey and wishing all the best!”
Prof. Dimitri Scholz
University College Dublin, Ireland
