Objectives of the Course
|
To teach about the types of nanoparticles that can be used in biomedical applications and the characterization techniques. Additionally, to enable students to design nanoparticles for practical applications by understanding the interactions of nanoparticles with tissues.
|
|
Course Content
|
Designing functional nanoparticles using various strategies and materials is very important for biomedical applications. Topics covered in this course are nanoparticle behavior in biological environments, design parameters such as targeting, shape effect, administration route, and nanoparticle characterization techniques. Moreover, different types of nanoparticles such as polymeric nanoparticles, carbon nanoparticles, fluorescent nanoparticles, and self-assembled nanoparticles along with their potential applications in biomedicine will be covered at the end of this course.

Course Methods and Techniques
|
We will be using various tools for active learning to take place.
This is also a student-driven course. It is your responsibility to participate actively in class discussions. You are not graded on whether you agree or disagree with the instructor or with each other. Evaluation of class participation will be based on your ability to rise and answer important issues, to contribute ideas or insights, to build upon the ideas of others, ask questions to presenters, etc.
By actively participating in the class discussions, you can sharpen your insights, and those of your classmates.
Both the quality and frequency of your participation will count towards your active participation grade. Please note that high-quality or relevant contribution will earn you a higher participation grade than frequent but insignificant contribution. Also, you will not get any class attendance points for just being present in class. Class attendance is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for scoring highly on the class participation.
