Learning objectives
This course unravels the interdisciplinary domain of theranostics, focusing on the seamless integration of materials and devices for advanced diagnostics and therapy. Participants will delve into the synthesis and engineering of multifunctional materials designed to serve both in diagnosis and treatment. Cutting-edge developments in nanomedicine, molecular imaging, and targeted drug delivery will be explored to understand the synergy between diagnostic and therapeutic functionalities. The course emphasizes the translation of these materials into practical devices, covering the design and fabrication of theranostic platforms.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Knowledge of basics of electronic devices, analytical chemistry, nanotechnology and advanced biomaterials.
Program
- Introduction to theranostics and nanomaterials in medicine (GENERAL OVERVIEW)
- Fabrication, characterization, and functionalization of metallic nanostructures for plasmonic applications (MATERIALS)
- Plasmonic bio sensors (thin films and/or nanoparticles) (DEVICES)
- Applications of metal nano particles in SERS effect theranostics and photo-thermal therapy (IN VIVO APPLICATIONS)-
Part of the course will be carried out by the prof. T. Del Rosso, NanoLaser Lab, Dept. of Physics - Univ. PUC Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), visiting professor at Univ. Verona.
