Now these techniques  are used to model or mimic the behavior of molecules, and help us study formulation at the molecular level. Computational pharmaceutics enables us to understand the mechanism of drug delivery, and to develop new drug delivery systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book discusses the modeling of different drug delivery systems, including cyclodextrins, solid dispersions, polymorphism prediction, dendrimer-based delivery systems, surfactant-based micelle, polymeric drug delivery systems, liposome, protein\/peptide formulations, non-viral gene delivery systems, drug-protein binding, silica nanoparticles, carbon nanotube-based drug delivery systems, diamond nanoparticles and layered double hydroxides (LDHs) drug delivery systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough there are a number of existing books about rational drug design with molecular modeling techniques, these techniques still look mysterious and daunting for pharmaceutical scientists. This book fills the gap between pharmaceutics and molecular modeling, and presents a systematic and overall introduction to computational pharmaceutics. It covers all introductory, advanced and specialist levels. It provides a totally different perspective to pharmaceutical scientists, and will greatly facilitate the development of pharmaceutics. It also helps computational chemists to look for the important questions in the drug delivery field.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is included in the \u003ci\u003eAdvances in Pharmaceutical Technology\u003c\/i\u003e book series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Defang Ouyang \u003c\/b\u003eis at the Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Macau in China as well as Aston University, UK. He has a multi-disciplinary and unique background and expertise in both drug delivery and molecular modeling. He completed his PhD at The University of Queensland, Australia in 2010. Since joining Aston, he has pioneered the application of molecular modeling techniques in the field of drug delivery - \"computational pharmaceutics\", including cyclodextrin-drug complexes, solid dispersions, non-viral gene delivery systems and liposome formulations. So far, he has authored over 20 refereed publications, consisting of an invited book, a book chapter, invited reviews, journal articles, conference papers and patents.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProfessor Sean C.
