Description

This teaching unit is dedicated to the presentation of inorganic materials and nanomaterials for use in the biomedical field (imaging, therapy, implants). This UE is the deepening of the knowledge acquired in the UE HAC930C (Development of materials for health). The aim is to develop health issues and inorganic materials and nanomaterials in diagnosis, therapy and well-being. Strategies for the development of future inorganic materials and nanomaterials based on therapeutics and multifunctionality, and smart materials will also be addressed.

The UE includes lectures and tutorials. A group project on the (theoretical) study of an inorganic material or nanomaterials for health will be proposed to the students.

Objectives

The aim of this course is to deepen the theoretical and practical knowledge and skills in inorganic materials and nanomaterials used in the health field. The objectives of this UE are listed below:

 

  • Master the concepts and notions of inorganic materials and nanomaterials applied to the biomedical field.
  • Know the major issues in the health field where (nano)materials are used.
  • To know the specificities related to the design of this type of (nano)materials, the prerequisites of their use, their behavior in a living organism.
  • Know the main classes of inorganic (nano)materials, their properties and applications.
  • To know the main techniques of diagnosis and therapy of certain pathologies.
  • Know how to analyze scientific and technical articles.
