Course Description
The foundational research in nanosciences and the rapid development in nanotechnology have provided a new set of research tools and medical devices that will change our ways to practice medicine in the near future. The objective of this course is to provide students a broad understanding of cutting-edge development of nanomaterials and nanodevices. This course covers the methods of synthesis and characterization of nano-sized materials and specific considerations of their use within biological systems. The use of those structures, devices, and agents will then be discussed in the context of their clinical applications.
