Why Become a Member of ISAM?
Unlimited Access to the Journal of Aerosol Medicine and Pulmonary Drug Delivery
Members receive on-line access to the Journal of Aerosol Medicine and Pulmonary Drug Delivery (JAMPDD) for the latest, cutting-edge research and review articles on aerosols in medicine.
Access to the ISAM Textbook of Aerosol Medicine
The textbook provides comprehensive coverage of a broad range of topics related to aerosol science and clinical applications of aerosol therapy. The textbook has been written by content experts, and provides concise and up-to-date information on various topics of interest to aerosol scientists and clinicians. Dr. Rajiv Dhand, MD, the Editor-in-Chief, has been ably supported by 8 associate editors who are well known authorities in their respective fields. To allow crossover of readership between aerosol scientists and clinicians the book is primarily targeted to clinicians entering a Pulmonary fellowship program and graduate students starting a research career.
The ISAM Textbook of Aerosol Medicine is an electronic book divided into four sections. Section 1 deals with aerosol deposition imaging, clearance, and assessment of inhaled products, Section 2 with aerosol devices, formulations, and particulates, Section 3 with clinical applications of aerosol therapy and adherence to inhaled drugs, and Section 4 addresses inhaled biotherapeutics, systemic therapy, limitations of aerosol therapy, regulatory issues with inhaled drugs, and nasal delivery of drugs. The book will be further expanded and updated in the future.

Young Investigators
