About the course

This course explores how nanoparticles interact with cells and tissues and how they can be engineered for targeted therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Key topics include bio–nano interactions, targeting strategies, tumor-directed drug delivery, and nano-enabled biosensors, providing students with a broad overview of current approaches and technologies in nanomedicine.

By the end of the course, students will be able to identify and classify major nanomaterial platforms and evaluate the potential and limitations of nanotechnology-based solutions. The course also includes a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis of selected nanomedicine strategies.

 The course starts October 5th 2026 and runs for 2,5 weeks with 100% tuition.
