This book brings together recent developments in the field of drug delivery. The book serves to bridge the gap between the current research scenario and the technical knowledge provided at the pharmaceutical institutions to maximize the skills of individuals involved at any level in this domain.

The development of new CNS drugs is notoriously difficult. Drugs must reach CNS target sites for action and these sites are protected by a number of barriers, the most important being the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Many factors are therefore critical to consider for CNS drug delivery, e.g.

The book gives an insight into the thorough study and examination of incumbent biosystems, their present status and disruption in their integrity, causes and effects, measures to be taken for their characterization and restoration apart from advances and applications in the field of biosciences, drug design, discovery, bio-systems, biomedical and drug delivery technologies, tools in particular. The book collates information from several disciplines, such as chemistry, biology, material science, engineering, statistics, biomedicine, genetics, etc., as the subject in question is a confluence of many disciplines exhibiting numerous applications such as bioimaging, novel biological agents, synthesis, discovery testing, characterization of drugs right from selecting a suitable precursor to discovering and designing a drug following a correct synthetic route, adoption of computer simulation-based models, AI/ML-based models, application of statistical tools in analyzing and interpreting data, design, multi-functional, and operational drug delivery systems, their bio-compatibility, capacity of carrying and release of drug reproducibly etc.
