Conclusions.This book provides detailed and current information on using fullerenes (bucky-balls) in photodynamic therapy (PDT), one of the most actively studied applications of photonic science in healthcare. This will serve as a useful source for researchers working in photomedicine and nanomedicine, especially those who are investigating PDT for cancer treatment and infectious disease treatment. The book runs the gamut from an introduction to the history and chemistry of fullerenes and some basic photochemistry, to the application of fullerenes as photosensitizers for cancer and antimicrobial inactivation.Advanced biomedical physicists, biooptics, nanotechnologies.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader.Dr. Lucas Freitas de Freitas received his PhD in bioengineering from the University of S?aao Paulo, Brazil (2016). Part of his PhD research was done under the supervision of Dr. Hamblin. Dr. de Freitas has published in the biomedical field, especially on light interaction with microorganisms and with the human body. Dr. Michael Hamblin is a Principal Investigator at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, an Associate Professor of Dermatology, Harvard Medical School and affiliated faculty at Harvard-MIT Division of Health and Science Technology.Title from PDF title page (viewed on May 6, 2016).
