Monologic Lecture(Interpretation, Training)
Learning outcomes
The subject is oriented on interdisciplinary approach linking biology, molecular biology, chemistry and physics that is necessary for understanding in-vitro and in-vivo nanomaterials and nanotechnology application in medicine with further explanation of specific bioapplication and methods for studying the impact of nanoparticles on the level of organs, tissues and cells. The subject Nanobiotechnology is a continuation of the subject Biological fundamentals of nanotechnology.
