"The book contains the problems set at the end of each chapter which will help students for easy understanding and self-learning. The book can also be used for various companies which works on the designing and fabrication of electrical, mechanical and optical sensors.There are only few books in market which covers all type of transducers such as electrochemical, optical, mechanical etc. This is the main strength of the book." --Anand Mohan Shrivastav, Assistant Professor, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi

Molecular Sensors and Nanodevices: Principles, Designs and Applications in Biomedical Engineering, Second Edition is designed to be used as a foundational text, aimed at graduates, advanced undergraduates, early-career engineers and clinicians. The book presents the essential principles of molecular sensors, including theories, fabrication techniques and reviews. In addition, important devices and recently, highly-cited research outcomes are also cited. This differentiates the book from other titles on the market whose primary focus is more research-oriented and aimed at more of a niche market.
