co-author and editor of "Nanoparticles for Biotherapeutic Delivery"

January 27, 2017

Joshua D. Ramsey is an associate professor in the School of Chemical Engineering at Oklahoma State University. He earned his Ph.D. in chemical and biomolecular engineering from the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana in 2006. Upon graduating, he worked as a PhRMA Postdoctoral Fellow in pharmaceutical chemistry at the University of Kansas before joining the faculty at Oklahoma State University in 2008. His research interests center on drug delivery. He is particularly interested in using hybrid, polymer-virus particles for gene delivery and is also interested in polymeric nanoparticles for delivery of therapeutic protein.

"Nanoparticles for Biotherapeutic Delivery" focuses on how nanoparticles have impacted the delivery of biotherapeutics and provides both some background for those new to the field as well as practical explanations of current techniques for those working in the field. The book has been organized into three sections. Section 1 provides a general overview of how nanoparticles have been used in drug delivery. Section 2 focuses on general issues that have guided the field, such as targeting approaches, the effect of shape, how nanoparticles interact with the immune system and nanoparticle toxicity. Section 3 provides examples of various nanoparticle technologies and describes in detail how much of the work is being performed.
