This is the first volume of "Biosensors", a three-volume set covering all aspects of theory and practice relating to devices used to convert biological responses into electronic signals. Biosensors have an enormous range of uses in medical, industrial, manufacturing and experimental contexts, and advances are being made rapidly. The volumes draw together experts from across the world and across scientific fields to provide the reader with a comprehensive picture of the current principles, applications and technologies available, together with an insight into advanced and emerging trends in the field. Major themes include biosensors for food safety monitoring, disease diagnosis, developments in intelligent systems and nanotechnology, biosecurity applications and enzyme-based and biochemical sensors. Some of the important advances discussed include biosensors for in vivo detection of RNA, microbial cell-based biosensors and biosensors as cancer biomarkers. The book is thematically organized for ease of use, and will be extremely interesting to mechanical engineers, physicists, biochemists and computer scientists interested in the development of technologies with wide-ranging practical applications.
