BioNanotechnology and Nanomedicine: Applications in Cancer and Mechanobiology will provide an introduction to basic concepts in applications of nanotechnology in mechanobiology and in cancer. This is a highly interdiscplinary field of research where knowledge from various discipline need to be presented and integrated. There will be 4 main sections of the course; (i) introduction to nanotechnology and nanomedicine, (ii) biological concepts and cancer biology, (iii) applications in cancer, i.e. cancer nanotechnology, and (iv) applications in cellular mechanics, i.e. mechanobiology and nanotechnology. The course is intended for first year graduate students and upper level undergraduate students. Prerequisites: MCB 150 or equivalent knowledge
