BENG 460: Nanobiosystems Engineering

Course Description

Nanobiosystems Engineering is an emerging frontier in nanotechnology. It integrates materials science, bioengineering, physics and life science with the biological and biochemical applications. This fast-developing interdisciplinary field holds the promise to solve many of the medical problems of future. The course will introduce advanced concepts related to nanomaterials and nanofabrication and their application in medicine. The course will also focus on design and development of nano-devices for the applications of pharmaceuticals and healthcare. Typical applications include nano-biosensor, targeted drug delivery, and tissue engineering will also be discussed. Students in Bioengineering will have a chance to present and discuss individual application through team project.
