He has been honored by the Belgian King and received an award for European merits in Luxemburg by the former President of the European Commission. He is author of multiple scientific and technical publications and books."--Page [XLI].

"Gunjan Jeswani is associate professor and head of the department of Pharmaceutics, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Shri Shankaracharya Technical Campus, Shri Shankaracharya Group of Institution, Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, India. She is an innovative researcher in the field of pharmaceutical nanotechnology. Her research interest involves advanced polymeric dosage forms for cosmeceutical and parenteral drug delivery. She has developed novel long-acting dosage forms, including transdermal creams and particulate-based systems for the delivery of synthetic and natural drug molecules. She has published review and research articles in high impact national and international journals, co-authored book chapters in international books published by reputed publishers, and also authored a few textbooks of pharmaceutical sciences. Along with ten years of teaching experience, she is also the recipient of the “Young Scientist Award-2018” by Chhattisgarh Council of Science and Technology (CGCOST), India. She has additionally received various scholarships and grants from the Indian government for qualifying national exams and organizing national conferences."--Page [XLI].

Summary:

"With nanotechnology being a relatively new field, the questions regarding safety and ethics are steadily increasing with the development of the research. This book aims to give an overview on the ethics associated with employing nanoscience for products with everyday applications. The risks as well as the regulations are discussed, and an outlook for the future of nanoscience on a manufacturer’s scale and for the society is provided.Ethics in nanotechnology is a valuable resource for, philosophers, academicians and scientist, as well as all other industry professionals and researchers who interact with emerging social and philosophical ethical issues on routine bases. It is especially for deep learners who are enthusiastic to apprehend the challenges related to nanotechnology and ethics in philosophical and social education.This book presents an overview of new and emerging nanotechnologies and their societal and ethical implications. It is meant for students, academics, scientists, engineers, policy makers, ethicist, philosophers and all stakeholders involved in the development and use of nanotechnology. Examines risks as well as benefits of nanoscience and technology. Discusses the current rules and regulations. Introduction to the topic written by experts in the field."--Provided by publisher.
