The aim is to provide students with an overview of the materials, molecules, biomolecules and technologies used in nanotechnology with direct application to medicine, as well as the preparation protocols and the main characterisation tools used. We will also consider modification strategies to make these nanomaterials biocompatible, vectorise their transport and, if necessary, control their internalisation in cells, and their biodistribution in animal models for use in tissue nanotechnology. We will also consider possible toxicity issues and some examples of biological applications of these materials. We will also learn about the ethical and legal aspects of the use of nanotechnology in the field of medicine.
