Synopsis

Smart Diagnostics for Neurodegenerative Disorders: Neuro-sensors explores all available biosensor-based approaches and technologies as well as their use in the diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic management of a variety of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and epileptic disorders. The book also discusses contemporary and revolutionary biosensor platforms that are being used to produce a quantitative quick lab-on-a-chip point-of-care (POC) assay for several types of predictive and diagnostic biomarkers linked with neurodegenerative disorders. It offers a combinatorial strategy for learning recent advances and designing new biosensor-based technologies in the fields of medical science, engineering and biomedical technology.

Early detection of neurological conditions has the potential to treat the disease and extend the life expectancy of patients. Recent improvements in biosensor-based approaches that target specific cell surface biomarkers can be used for early detection of neurodegenerative disease.

• Provides an in-depth understanding of biomarkers associated with neurodegenerative disease to build and create a variety of biosensors
• Presents biosensor-based strategies to create and construct enhanced platforms for quick diagnosis of biomarkers linked to a variety of neurological illnesses
• Discusses the current challenges and future trends in developing diagnostic devices for early detection of neurodegenerative disorders, presenting new avenues for more sensitive and selective point-of-care devices

About the Authors

Arpana Parihar is a DST Scientist B at CSIR-Advanced Materials and Processes Research Institute (AMPRI), Bhopal, India. She has 8 years of research and teaching experience and her current research interests include fabrication (Micro/Nano-fabrication) of Bio-devices/bio-medical POCT Devices for early diagnosis of cancer and infectious disease. She has gained significant expertise in the field of 3D cell culture, drug designing, tissue engineering, photodynamic therapy, molecular dynamic simulations, and immunoinformatics.

Raju Khan is a Senior Principal Scientist and Professor, at CSIR-Advanced Materials and Processes Research Institute, Bhopal. He did his PhD in Chemistry in 2005 from Jamia Millia Islamia, Central University, New Delhi, and Postdoctoral researcher at the “Sensor Research Laboratory” University of the Western Cape, Cape Town. His current research involved synthesizing novel materials to fabricate electrochemical and fluorescence-based biosensors integrated with microfluidics to detect target disease risk biomarkers for health care monitoring. He has published over 150 papers in SCI journal, which attracted over 5500 citations as per Google Scholar, published 45 book chapters in the reputed book Elsevier and Taylor Francis, editing of 28 books from Elsevier and Taylor Francis, and his research has been highlighted in Nature India. He has supervised 5 PhD and 30 undergraduate/postgraduate theses and has supervised 4 numbers of postdoctoral fellows under the scheme of N-PDF, CSIR-Nehru Fellowship, and DST-Women Scientist Projects.

Avanish Kumar Srivastava is the director of the CSIR-AMPRI, Bhopal, India. He is an expert in nanoscale measurements and instrumentation, and his research interests lie in nucleation growth, phase transformations, microstructures, and defects.

From the Back Cover

Early detection of neurological conditions has the potential to treat the disease and extend the life expectancy of patients. Recent improvements in biosensor-based approaches that target specific cell surface biomarkers can be used for early detection of neurodegenerative disease. Smart Diagnostics for Neurodegenerative Disorders: Neuro-sensors explores all available biosensor-based approaches and technologies, as well as their use in the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic management of a variety of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and epileptic disorders. It also discusses contemporary and revolutionary biosensor platforms that are being used to produce a quantitative quick lab-on-a-chip point-of-care (POC) assay for several types of predictive and diagnostic biomarkers linked with neurodegenerative disorders.

This book offers a combinatorial strategy for not only learning the recent advances, but it is also helpful for designing new biosensor-based technologies in the fields of medical science, engineering, and biomedical technology.
