Description

The topics will focus on organic functionalization, characterization and bioapplications (i.e. drug and gene delivery) of different classes of nanoparticles and nanomaterials:

• organic nanoparticles (i.e. peptides and dendrimers; liposomes; micelles)
• inorganic nanoparticles (i.e. carbon nanotubes, graphene, 2D materials and metal nanoparticles).

The topics will contain :

• Introduction and peptide self-assembly
• Principles in drug delivery
• Gene delivery
• Dendrimers
• Polymers and micelles
• Liposomes
• Carbon nanotubes
• Graphene and 2D materials
• Gold nanoparticles and quantum dots
• Iron and silica nanoparticles
• Critical analysis & discussion of articles

Compétences visées

• Identify the main differences between organic and inorganic nanoparticles
• Associate the different nanoparticles to their properties and applications
• Recognize the advantages and disadvantages of each class of nanoparticles in term of biomedical applications
• Propose appropriate chemical functionalizations based on the type of nanoparticles
• Design a multifunctional nanoparticle or nanomaterial for a specific therapeutic and/or diagnostic application.
