Next Generation Graphene Nanomaterials for Cancer Theranostic Applications

This book focuses on the use of graphene and its derivatives for application in cancer diagnosis and therapy. Readers are introduced to graphene nanomaterial history, synthesis procedures, properties, modifications, and applications in cancer research and development. The wide-ranging properties of graphene nanomaterials can be utilized for various cancer therapeutic and diagnostic applications. The contents discuss these applications with simple graphical overviews and provide comprehensive detail for a better understanding of the state of the art. The book will be of interest to professionals and academic researchers alike.

Rohan Bahadur worked at the Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering in IIT Bombay, India on 2D materials such as graphene, MoS2, MXenes and their 0D analogues for biomedical and biosensing applications. As part of his Masters in VIT University, Vellore, India he did a research project at ICMCB, CNRS, University of Bordeaux, France on the production of patchy particles as building blocks of limited valence with Professor Etienne Duguet.  He has co-authored 5 research publications and has 3 patents/applications. 

Dr. Mukesh Kumar Kumawat pursued his Ph.D. at the Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, India, where his research focused on the synthesis, characterization, and applications of graphene nanomaterials in bio-imaging, sensing, drug delivery, and photothermal therapy of tumor cells. He has also worked on the exfoliation of MoS2 nanosheets, MoS2 quantum dots synthesis, and their biomedical applications. He has co-authored research articles on the synthesis of gold nanomaterial, characterization, and their application for sensing applications. He has co-authored 15 research publications and 6 patents/applications.
