Objectives of the Course Describing the advantages of nanocarriers in drug delivery.
Introducing them various main types and considerations in designing drug delivery vehicles.
Providing students a basic understanding for designing nanocarrier systems for different drug delivery needs.
Course Content This course covers the basic concepts and approaches for designing nanocarriers and delivery of drugs. Topics included in this course are routes of application for classic and controlled drug delivery systems, main examples for controlled drug release formulations including lipid-based, inorganic, and polymeric nanocarriers, use of nanoparticles in diagnosis and monitoring of diseases, drug targeting, biodistribution, toxicology, EPR effect.
