Overview
- Describes in detail the basis of bio recognition in material surfaces focusing on polymers
- Details the techniques employed in preparing surfaces containing bio recognition moieties and their role on the selective recognition of small molecules, proteins, oligonucleotides and also cells, including bacteria
- Provides an extensive overview of the current applications and future potential of polymeric surfaces modified with bio recognition moieties

About the editors
Dr. Juan Rodríguez-Hernández is tenured scientist at the Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnologia de Polimeros (Madrid-Spain) since 2008. He obtained his PhD from the Max-Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, Germany in 2003. He then joined the Laboratoire de Chimie des Polymères Organiques in Bordeaux France as post-doc and later as research fellow until 2008. His research interests include micro/nanostructuration of polymeric surfaces, the preparation of smart surfaces and the control of the interaction of surfaces with microorganisms.
Dr. Aitziber L. Cortajarena earned her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the Universidad del País Vasco in 2002. Then, she joined the group of Prof. L. Regan at Yale University, USA, as a Postdoctoral Fellow. She worked on protein design, structure, and function. She joined IMDEA Nanociencia as Group Leader in 2010 and started her independent research lines. Her research focuses on protein engineering for biotechnological applications and the generation of biofunctional nanostructures, surfaces, and bioinspired materials for applications in nano-biotechnology and nanomedicine.
