Description	Professor Emmanuel Opara is a leading researcher in drug delivery technologies. This textbook, Controlled Drug Delivery Systems, stems from this expertise and seeks to enlighten readers on topics and techniques of interest within the field of drug delivery. The goal of controlled drug delivery systems is to provide a means for predictable in vivo release of therapeutics over a desired timeframe. This design objective allows for more targeted therapeutic responses that reduce the need for high dosing frequency and large systemic doses. As may be seen throughout this book, the specific criteria for controlled drug delivery vary widely based on the drug of interest and its intended target, and these requirements have led to the development of diverse types of drug delivery systems. Here, the role of biomaterials in drug delivery for a variety of applications (direct therapeutic response, tissue regeneration, etc.) will be discussed as well as delivery systems designed to interact with specific tissues.
