| Purpose of the course | |
| Intended learning outcomes | The students should after the course be able to: -Describe and explain the concepts and definitions in the area of nanomedicine -Reflect on nanomedical innovations as future therapeutic systems -Conceptualize novel nanomedical applications in oncology with a basis in the students own research area -Describe current limitations/opportunities of nanomaterials in oncological applications in drug delivery and imaging applications -Critically reflect on nanomedical literature from the students research perspective -Utilize literature databases other than PubMed to gather interdisciplinary literature |
| Contents of the course | The general concepts and definitions of nanomedicine Applications of nanomedicine in oncology Interdisciplinary literature search - uses of databases other than PubMed Construction and use of nanoscale drug delivery systems Applications of nanomaterials in in vivo/in vitro imaging Design of nanomaterials for injection, methods of tuning biodistribution and active/passive targeting Toxicology of nanomaterials |
| Teaching and learning activities | The course will contain lectures on each of the intended learning outcomes. IT-demonstrations of databases such as Scifinder and Web of Science are included to introduce the students to other tools than PubMed to find high quality interdisciplinary publications. One written assignment, writing a brief research application with feedback from the course master followed by an oral presentation of the assignment with peer based feedback. |
| Compulsory elements | Attendance at the lectures and oral presentations are compulsory. Absence from these can be compensated by extra assignment(s), however depending on the number of missed compulsory teaching activities, the possibility of compensating these will decided in agreement with the course master. |
| Examination | The examination assignment will be to conceptualize the construction of a nanomedical device for oncology research and while also critically reflecting on nanomedical literature from the students¿ research perspective. The examination is composed of: 1. Written research application focused on how to utilize nanomedical concepts in the students own research. 2. Oral presentation of the students research application for the course participants with both peer-based and course master feedback. |
| Literature and other teaching material | Handouts from lectures Recommended scientific literature, general reviews and specific papers in the field of nanomaterials and nanomedicine |
