BME I2300 Translational Nanomedicine
This course will introduce students to the design and characterization of nanoscale materials and related biomaterials for use in clinical and biomedical sciences. Students will learn to identify properties of materials that translate well to clinical utility. Students will also learn to interpret data on the physicochemical properties of nanomaterials and their interactions with biological systems. Individual and group-based projects will evaluate nanomaterials in various stages of clinical translation to understand the materials design properties which contribute to their success or failure. Students will be prepared to identify challenges in biomedical sciences that can be addressed through the unique characteristics of nanomedicine.
