Course description and aims

This course is for students in Tokyo Tech-Tsinghua University joint graduate program. The course mainly deals with the fundamental concepts of nano-science. Since the instructors and the topics change every year, the course contents will be changed year by year. This year, the course topic would be divided into two; (1) nano-materials such as low heat-conductive ceramics and ionic conductive materials, (2) Nanobiomaterials with tissue engineering and cancer theranotics. By these topics, students will catch the overview of nano-science field.


Teaching the knowledge of ceramic nano materials synthesis process, structure and property characterization and application.


Over the last decade, the integration of advances in materials and life sciences with cutting-edge nanotechnologies has driven biomaterials science into the "nano era". A new term, nanobiomaterials which describing biomaterials with the constituent or surface feature sized between 1 and 100nm, but usually 1-100 nm in at least one dimension, has emerged and caused great attention, either in research or industry. Because of their unique nano effects and characteristics, nanobiomaterials possess extraordinarily unique structures and properties. Therefore, nanobiomaterials have blossomed into one of the most important branches in biomaterials, which show great promising in biomedical applications, such as regenerative medicine, cancer therapy, molecular imaging and theranostics, diagnostics, and drug delivery.
The Course, Nanobiomaterials, aims to address state-of-the-art research progresses in the field of nanobiomaterials. The main topics include nanotechnologies for nanobiomaterials fabrication, developments in biomedical applications, and the challenges of biosafety in clinical applications.
