Om emnet
Faglig innhold
The course will focus on uses of nanotechnology in therapy. In detail, the course will cover clinical biomaterials, biocompatibility issues, tissue engineering including stem cells, and higher order structuring of engineered tissues. Furthermore the course will cover nanoscale advanced drug delivery systems fundamentals, design, synthesis, and uses. In addition, environmental, physiological, cellular and molecular toxicological limitations of industrially encountered nanoparticles will be covered. This course focuses on biomedical uses of nanotechnologies and less on the technologies themselves.
Læringsutbytte
After completing the course MOL3015, the student should be able to:
- understand how nanotechnological approaches can be used in biomedical therapies
- understand biomaterials and interaction of biomaterials with cells, body fluids and tissues
- understand basic stem cell biology and corresponding requirement for tissue engineering
- understand the need, obstacles and solutions for polymeric, lipidous and solid nanosized drug delivery systems
- understand the toxicological aspects of nanosized surfaces and particles
- find, refer and evaluate available information
Læringsformer og aktiviteter
The syllabus of the course is defined by the learning objectives. The course is based on lectures. The curriculum is based on lecture handouts and appropriate review articles. The course includes a compulsory term paper, requiring an in-depth review of the primary literature in a chosen detailed topic, which will account for 30 % of the final grade. The language of instruction is English. The lectures are held in the spring semester.
Mer om vurdering
The exam consist of two parts, a written school exam and a term paper. The written exam will account for 70%, and the term paper will account for 30% of the final grade. Both parts must be passed to get a total grade in the course.
The language of instruction is English, and the exam must be answered in English.
Retake of the exam: the students can register for the part of the exam they want to re-take, or choose both.
