Basic Information
This Interdisciplinary Course Will Cover a Wide Range of Topics, Such As The Synthesis of Bio-inspired Particles (i.e., Nature-mimicking Particles) and Their Characterization, The Use of Contrast Agents And Composites in Particles, and The Exploitation of Their Advantages As Vehicles For Delivering Various Medical Substances, Including Small Molecules, Proteins, and Rna Molecules. The Course Will Be Taught In The Form of Problem-based Learning (pbl), Where The Students Will Be Exposed to Different Clinical Needs in Which These Particles Are Used For Therapy Or Specific Pain Relief. This Course Will Equip The Students With Tools to Characterize The Engineering Problem and Ask Them to Develop Their Own Solutions While Working in Teams. Learning Outcomes# at The End of The Course The Students Will Be Able To# 1. Understand The State-of-the-art in Bioinspired Nano-engineering Technologies. 2. Critically Read, Analyze, and Interpret The Scientific Literature in Bioinspired Nano-engineering. 3. Apply The Knowledge of Bioinspired Nano-engineering to Think Critically About Possible Bnp Solutions For Unmet Needs in Medicine._ 4. Clearly Represent Ideas in Written Reports and Oral Presentation.
