Small useful and very strange! During this module you will visit the quantum universe, we will see how nanoscale objects can be tuned for highly specific, highly sensitive disease targeting. Students will see how such small scale technology offers huge leaps in diagnostics and therapeutics, enabling us to break the boundary from macroscale anatomy to nanoscale biologics. Anatomical imaging is transformed to functional imaging; treatment becomes targeted. Students will receive a background in clinical imaging modalities (MRI, x-ray CT) and cancer therapies (radiotherapy), and the current and future role of nanotechnology in these fields.
