Informazioni sul programma
Il programma è articolato in 3 moduli: Nanotoxicology: effects of nanomaterials and nanoparticles, Nanomicrobiology: applications to biomedicine, Nanomaterials in tissue engineering
Prerequisiti
Esame orale
Metodi didattici
Lezioni frontali
Module: Nanotoxicology: effects of nanomaterials and nanoparticles
Programma
The risk of nanomaterials and nanoparticles, is related to their chemical and physiochemical properties, i.e. size, shape, solubility, surface charge and surface reactivity.
The course will provide information on possible sources, exposure and toxicological effects of nanomaterials and nanoparticles.
Nanotoxicology: introduction (2 hours)
Toxicological effects of nanomaterials and nanoparticles (4 hours)
Eco-toxicology of nanomaterials (4 hours )
Nanotoxicology in vitro model systems (4 hours )
Case studies in nanotoxicology (4 hours)
Metodi didattici

Materiale di riferimento
Materiale didattico su Ariel
Module: Nanomicrobiology: applications to biomedicine
Programma
The aim of this course, through the application of advanced AFM technique on microbial cells at nanometer resolution, is to investigate on bacteria and fungi the molecular bases of pathogen-host and pathogen-drug interactions

Module: Nanomaterials in tissue engineering
Programma
The aim of the module is to convey information about the most modern and common nanomaterials and nanostructures employed in tissue engineering, mainly in veterinary field. Given the ample spread of the arguments, the module will focus on the nanostructures and on some aspects of tissue biology, e.g. bone, cartilage, vascular tissue.
