About this ebook

Quantum Dot Biomedicine explores the revolutionary use of quantum dots (QDs), or semiconductor nanocrystals, in modern medicine. It highlights their potential in areas like molecular tracking, enhanced biological imaging, and precision disease detection. QDs offer superior brightness and photostability compared to traditional methods, making them ideal for biosensors used in early cancer diagnosis and infectious disease identification. This book uniquely bridges materials science, chemistry, biology, and medicine to provide a comprehensive understanding of QD technology.

The book begins with the history and fundamental principles of QDs, including quantum mechanics and synthesis techniques. It then progresses to applications such as single-molecule tracking and photodynamic therapy, where QDs generate reactive oxygen species to destroy cancer cells. A key focus is on addressing the challenges of biocompatibility, toxicity, and regulatory hurdles that must be overcome to realize the full potential of QDs as therapeutic agents and in drug delivery systems.

Quantum Dot Biomedicine provides invaluable insights for researchers and professionals in biotechnology and related fields. By combining scientific foundations with practical considerations, the book presents a balanced view of QD technology's current status and future prospects, making it an essential resource for those seeking to understand and contribute to this rapidly evolving field.
