Viral Nanoparticles: Tools for Material

Describing how the utilization of viral nanoparticles (VNPs) in nanosciences and nanotechnology has become a popular field of research, this concise study provides an overview of the many applications of VNPs, in areas ranging from materials science to biomedicine. With summarized chapters on the many different VNP building blocks; chemistries that allow one to attach, entrap, or display functionalities; potential applications, such as their use as gene-delivery vectors, novel vaccines, imaging modalities, and in applications in targeted therapeutics; and the manifold achievements toward utilizing VNPs as tools for novel biosensors and nanoelectronic devices, this informed report is an invaluable insight into the developing field of VNPs.

Nicole F. Steinmetz is a researcher at The Scripps Research Institute. Marianne Manchester is professor at the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences of the University of California–San Diego. They both live in La Jolla, California.
