Synopsis

The Encyclopedia of Industrial Biotechnology combinesWiley s acclaimed Encyclopedia of BioprocessTechnology and the Encyclopedia of Cell Technology inorder to create a single resource and gateway to the many areas ofindustrial biotechnology for students, researchers, andtechnologists. In addition to revising and updating existingarticles, the new Encyclopedia of Industrial Biotechnologyhas been greatly expanded to cover important areas ofpharmaceutical and biologics bioprocess technology, including: * Production of vaccines * Biopharmaceuticals and methods for manufacturingbiomaterials * Biofabrication for the production of microfluidics * Tissue engineering * Biosensors * Bioelectronics * Bioarrays * Bio-nanotechnology IDEAL STARTING POINT FOR ANY RESEARCH PROJECT The Encyclopedia of Industrial Biotechnology waspublished in order to help readers make sense of the vast amountsof information that have been published around the world across abroad array of ournals, books, and websites. With its comprehensivecoverage, Encyclopedia of Industrial Biotechnology is theideal starting point for research projects involving any aspect ofindustrial biological processes, including fermentation,biocatalysis, bioseparation, and biofabrication.
