Beschreibungen

<span>With the increased understanding of drug mechanisms and disease manifestations, escalated headway in clinical research, and breakthrough pharmaceutical technologies, an unparallel interest has been witnessed towards the realm of novel drug delivery systems. These drug delivery systems have been instrumental in bringing revolutionary changes in the treatment options and the health scenario across the globe. Likewise, the future is primed to unfold an epoch driven by a fusion of biotechnology and nanotechnology, as many drug products oriented on these cutting-edge technologies are already in the pipeline of approval by various key regulatory agencies. Accordingly, it has almost become mandatory for every health professional, pharmaceutical scientist, biotechnologist and nanotechnologist to have the requisite perception of various newer drug delivery systems. The current volume 8 of 12 volume series is a compilation of diverse novel approaches to strategically deliver the drugs to the desired site at the desired rate and concentration. The volume 8 involves discussion on the following topics: o Recent developments in drug delivery systems o Cyclodextrin nano formulations as drug carriers for treatment of skin pathologies o Challenges and opportunities in pulmonary drug delivery o Targeted drug delivery for treatment of periodontal diseases o Sonoporation as a new approach to gene therapy o Janus particles for biomedical and drug delivery applications o Novel approaches for colon drug delivery o Ionic liquids as promising pharmaceutical carriers in drug delivery o Novel drug delivery vehicles for colloidal drug delivery o Carbon nano tubes and their drug delivery applications o Properties and applications of cell permeable peptides o Formulation, application and scientific validation of herbosomes o Development of implantable drug delivery systems o Micronized ethyl cellulose for oral modified-release drug delivery systems o Chatoyant-based drug delivery systems o Traditional foods as delivery vehicles for proboscis and nutraceuticals o Role of in vitro/in vivo correlation in product development and biowaivers of drug delivery systems o Recent developments in mouth dissolving tablets formulations and designs The volume 8 contains 18 chapters from 63 researchers and/or academicians representing 6 nations, namely India, Japan, Nigeria, Romania, Taiwan ROC and United States of America giving an overview of the various research activities being carried out in different parts of the world in the area of Novel Drug Delivery. </span>

In his career span of 41 years research experience at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, Dr.Govil has been involved in the breeding of cross-pollinated, often crosspollinated and self-pollinated crops. His research is mainly focussed on breeding for better quality, disease resistance, and for higher productivity in Pennisetum, Sorghum, maize, chickpea, and pigeonpea. Dr. Govil has been well exposed to the international scientific community through various training programmes. He took his training in "Plant exploration and collection techinques" through IBPGR in 1982. He was also awarded the prestigious FAO/IBPGR Fellowship in "Genetic resources, evaluation, and data preparation and management" at the University of Birmingham, UK.In 1983, he made visits to gene banks located in Europe. He also participated in various international seminars and conferences, including "Food and Legume Improvement for Asian Farming Systems" in Thailand in 1986. Dr. Govil is credited with more than ninety research papers in various journals of national and international repute in various aspects of genetics, crop breeding and topics on general agriculture. He has written and edited a number of books on medicinal Plants (2 Vols each of two Titles) and otherbooks with international authors. A new series "Recent Progress in Medicinal Plants" has been published by Studium Press, LLC, USA in 35 volumes under Dr. Govil's Chief Editorship. Dr. Govil has been Editor-in-Chief of the Journals, New Botanist (An International Journal of Plant Research)and Glimpses in Plant Research, since 1988. He has also guided more than a dozen post-graduate students. Dr. J.N. Govil was actively engaged through his leadership on pigeonpea breeding with special emphasis on "Breeding short duration pigeonpea varieties for improved management and low input conditions." Through his intensive efforts over the last 20 years, nine varieties of early pigeonpea in arhar-wheat rotation have been released at national level. Dr. Govil retired from ICAR service during the year 2007. Presently, he is working as Publishing Director and Managing Editor with Studium Press LLC, USA and has brought out nearly 300 academic publications during last five years.
