[EBOOK] Physics and Chemistry Basis of Biotechnology (Volume 7), Edited by MARCEL DE CUYPER and JEFF W.M. BULTE, KLUWER ACADEMIC PUBLISHERS

At the end of the 20th century, a tremendous progress was made in biotechnology in its widest sense This progress was largely possible as a result of joint efforts of top academic researchers in both pure fundamental sciences and applied research. The surplus value of such interdisciplinary approaches was clearly highlighted during the 9th European Congress on Biotechnology that was held in Brussels, Belgium (11-15 July, 1999).

Ihe present volume in the ‘Focus on Biotechnology' series, entiteld ‘Physics and Chemistry Basis for Biotechnology' contains selected presentations from this meeting, A collection of experts has made serious efforts to present some of the latest developments in various scientific fields and to unveil prospective evolutions on the threshold of the new millenium In all contributions the emphasis is on emerging new areas of research in which physicochemical principles form the foundation

In reading the different chapters, it appears that more than ever significant advances in biotechnology very often depend on breakthroughs in the biotechnology itself (e g. new instruments, production devices, detection methods), which - in turn - can be realized by implementing the appropriate physical and chemical principles into the new application. This ‘common" pattern is illustrated in the different chapters. Some highly relevant, next generation scientific topics that are treated deal with de novo synthesis of materials for gene transfection, imaging contrast agents, radiotherapy, aroma measurements, psychrophilic environments, biomimetic materials, bioradicals, biosensors, and more. Given the diversity of the selected topics, we are confident that scientists with an open mind, who arc looking for new frontiers, will find several chapters of particular interest. Some of the topics will give useful, up-to-date information on scientific aspects that may be either right in, or at the interface of their own field of research.

We would like to thank the many authors who did such an excellent job in writing and submitting their papers to US. It was enjoyable to interact with them, and there is no question that the pressure we put on many of them was worthwhile.
