Description

This module explore the use of nanotechnology for the delivery of therapeutic molecules and for diagnostics. It will cover nanocarriers such as liposomes, micelles, dendrimers and inorganic and organic nanoparticles. The overall emphasis will be on the need for novel nanoscale delivery vectors (both natural and synthetic), a better understanding of targets, and the routes that delivery systems have to traverse to reach their targets. Another topic of interest will be focused nanotheranostics, which involves the integration of a therapeutic and diagnostic function into a single nanocarrier system.

List of lectures:

  • Introduction to nanomedicine and nanocrystals
  • Targeting ligands
  • Antibody drug conjugates
  • Liposomes and micelles
  • Dendrimers and nanotheranostics
  • Nanosensors
  • Polymerosomes and somanutics
