NanoBiotechnology

Catalog description

This introductory course is designed to explore applications of nanotechnology to biotechnology. Nanotechnology deals with materials and devices that are or have structures of a size between 1 to 100 nm. Students will be introduced with the nano-based labeling technologies, fabrication strategies, nanofoods and nanotoxicology. Design and working of the nanodevices will also be discussed for applications in therpeutics, agriculture, food and diagnostic areas. A thorough understanding of DNA proteins, carbohydrates and lipid molecules is expected of the students.
