Smaller can mean better. Nanotechnology is science at the molecular level. Like biotechnology and information technology, it is a growth industry with the potential to greatly change the world in which we live. Biomedical Nanotechnology is a course that investigates key areas in which nanotechnology can benefit biomedical applications, understanding of nanomaterials for various biomedical applications, wet and dry nanotechnology, and basics of nanofabrication. This course also introduces applications such as drug delivery, imaging and diagnostics, and tissue regeneration and engineering.

The following topics will also be introduced:

Biocompatibility

Biomimicing

Bioconjugation

Active targeting

Cellular interactions

Optical and electric properties

After completing Biomedical Nanotechnology, students will be equipped with a basic understanding of the following:

What is meant by “nanotechnology”

Nanotechnology material platforms

In vivo and in vitro biomedical applications

How nano-assisted technologies compare to conventional medical devices

How to fabricate nanostructures

A general understanding of chemistry and/or biology is recommended

Students will be assigned 5 homework assignments, and 1 final exam for each course.
