Inorganic Nanoparticles in Life Sciences and Advanced Characterization Techniques

The objective of the course are: 1) to provide the students with the most important knowledge related to basic principles of nanoparticles, their applications and the most relevant analytic technologies related to nanoparticles; 2) learning advanced techniques of organic synthesis and spectroscopic characterization through the attendance of an interdisciplinary theoretical-practical laboratory for the design and implementation of a complex organic synthesis.

Skills acquired by the students at the end of the course are: 1) knowledge of synthetic methods of inorganic nanoparticles and their functionalization for application in the biomedical field and of the knowledge on the suitable analytic methodologies related to the nanoparticles design; 2) design and implementation of a complex organic synthesis, choice and application of the most appropriate analytical techniques and communication of the obtained results.
