Applications of Electrochemistry in Medicine [Hardcover]

Medical Applications of Electrochemistry, a volume of the series Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry, illustrates the interdisciplinary nature of modern science by indicating the many current issues in medicine that are susceptible to solution by electrochemical methods. This book also suggests how personalized medicine can develop.This Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry volume illustrates the interdisciplinary nature of modern science by indicating the many current issues in medicine that are susceptible to solution by electrochemical methods.

From the reviews:

Electrochemical applications in medicine are growing rapidly, and are under recognised, so the appearance of this book is timely. & It is likely to be of more interest to electrochemists than to a general medical audience, but will be important to medical specialists exploring electrochemical approaches to therapy and diagnosis. & this book is a timely and valuable contribution to a growing field, and it is to hoped will gain the attention of both clinicians and electrochemists.
