A Handbook of Artificial Intelligence in Drug Delivery (English, Anil K. Philip)

Product description From the Back Cover A Handbook of Artificial Intelligence in Drug Delivery is the first book to explore the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in drug delivery strategies. The massive time and costs investments in drug research and development necessitate application of more innovative techniques and smart strategies. AI will play crucial role in curtailing this sum and time frame. Artificial intelligence enabled techniques (AIET) offer tremendous opportunities for solving the complex algorithms associated with designing of functional drug delivery systems, predicting the bioactivities and interactions of drugs and treatment outcomes. By narrowing down the application of AI research and challenges, it is possible to bring translational benefits. This book covers pharmaceutical AI and drug discovery challenges, Artificial Intelligence tools for drug research, AI enabled intelligent drug delivery systems and next generation novel therapeutics, broad utility of AI for designing novel micro/nanosystems for drug delivery, AI driven personalized medicine and Gene therapy, 3D Organ printing and tissue engineering, Advanced nanosystems based on AI principles (nanorobots, nanomachines), opportunities and challenges using artificial intelligence in ADME/Tox in drug development, commercialization and regulatory perspectives, ethics in AI, and the future of AI in drug delivery. A Handbook of Artificial Intelligence in Drug Delivery will be useful to academic and industrial researchers interested in drug delivery, chemical biology, computational chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and bioinformatics. About the Author Dr. Anil Philip is currently working as Associate Dean (Head), School of Pharmacy, University of Nizwa, Oman. Among other credentials, he served as a member of the Health and Social Sciences sectorial grant committee of The Research Council, Oman, and as Faculty Mentored Undergraduate Research Program general supervisor to promote undergraduate research at the University of Nizwa. His research objectives and achievements have been in controlling/modifying the release of small/large molecules targeted to GI space using phase-transited delivery systems. He has worked extensively in the field of controlled/ modified drug release systems. Currently, his research focuses on developing nano-drug delivery systems, which can be targeted to the various body organs. He has guided students in areas of targeted drug delivery, has more than 40 original research publications in international peer-reviewed journals, and two patents on drug delivery systems.Dr. Aliasgar Shahiwala is currently serving as a Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutics, and Graduate Program Director, at Dubai Pharmacy College, Dubai, UAE. He received his MA and PhD in pharmaceutics and pharmaceutical technology from the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, India, with a particular research focus on the area of novel drug delivery. His postdoctoral research at Northeastern University, USA, centered on applications of nanotechnology in the field of drug delivery and drug targeting. With more than 20 years of teaching and research experience, Prof. Shahiwala has published several articles in international peer-reviewed journals, edited 4 books, and authored many book chapters, as well as being an active reviewer and editorial board member.Dr. Mamoon Rashid serves the college as Assistant Professor of Pharmaceutics at Appalachian College of Pharmacy, Oakwood, Virginia, USA. After finishing his PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, he joined the Appalachian College of Pharmacy in October 2013. His doctoral research work discovered that the endopeptidase neurolysin is associated to stroke pathology, and remains a potential consideration for developing therapeutics. Recently, Dr. Rashid has contributed two chapters for a book on Bioinspired and Biomimetic Materials for Drug Delivery (Woodhead, Oct 2016). Dr. Rashid's research interest includes both drug delivery and molecular biology. His current projects included development of transdermal drug delivery and stability of marketed drug products and development of analytical method of different products compounded in local pharmacies.Md Faiyazuddin stands out as a leading figure in pharmacy education and research, distinguished by his comprehensive background and contributions to the field. Renowned for his prolific contributions to the field, Dr. Faiyazuddin is an avid researcher, delving into various facets of formulation science. As the founder Dean R&D at Al - Karim University and a Professor of Pharmaceutics, he is at the forefront of health and drug delivery research. With 18 years of experience, Dr. Faiyazuddin is currently the founder Dean R&D and Professor of Pharmaceutics at Al - Karim University. Previously, he served as Dean and Professor at The R. C. University, Principal at Bihar College of Pharmacy, and held various academ
