Assistant Professor Shilpa Sant, PhD is one of the co-editors of the book Nanomaterials in Tissue Engineering: Fabrication and Applications published by Woodhead Publishing Ltd. Co-editors of the research book include Akhilesh Gaharwar (Assistant Profesor, TAMU), Matthew Hancock (Research Scientist, Broad Institute) and Adam Hacking (Director of the Laboratory for Musculoskeletal Research and Innovation, Massachussets General Hospital).
Nanomaterial technologies can be used to fabricate high-performance biomaterials with tailored physical, chemical, and biological properties. They are therefore an area of interest for emerging biomedical technologies such as scaffolding, tissue regeneration, and controlled drug delivery. Nanomaterials in Tissue Engineering explores the fabrication of a variety of nanomaterials and the use of these materials across a range of tissue engineering applications. It is a standard reference for researchers and tissue engineers with an interest in nanomaterials, laboratories investigating biomaterials, and academics interested in materials science, chemical engineering, biomedical engineering and biological sciences.
Shilpa Sant, PhD is a faculty member in the School of Pharmacy pharmaceutical sciences department. Sant holds secondary appointments in Department of Bioengineering and McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
