Synopsis:

The course introduces students to nanomaterials that can be used in modern analytical and diagnostic methods in nanomedicine. The course lectures focus on nanoparticles, their basic characteristics such as size and chemical potential, their preparation methods and surface functionalization. The course also covers the optical characteristics of nanomaterials and the basics of luminescence and phosphorescence principles and their detection using confocal principles. In the last part of the course, magnetic properties of nanoparticles and nano-NMR detection methods are presented and examples used for optical and magnetic methods in nanomedicine for detection of targeted nanoparticles.

Requirements:

Requirements for credit: 80% attendance at the exercises, passing the final test at a minimum of 50%.

Assessment of the exam: the exam will be given in the form of a test with questions to be answered by the students. Some questions may carry more weight in the assessment than others, for example those involving a numerical problem or requiring a complex approach to solving. After successful completion of the written test, oral retesting for a better grade is possible. The grade will correspond to the pass percentage exactly according to the ECTS grading scale in force.
