Course Description
The objective is to develop a fundamental understanding of the definitions, classifications, properties and benefits of biomaterials. This course focuses on the fundamental understanding of implantable materials with respect to their design, analysis and use in human health. This course also includes evaluation of biomedical use, applications and biocompatibilities of biomaterials and provides the basic understanding of the controlled drug delivery systems and introduction to drug targeting. The course also includes the fundamentals of materials synthesis/fabrication, methods of characterisation/analysis, interactions between materials with tissues, quantitative analysis of material properties and how materials are used to impact human health. Also, It covers the application of engineering principles for designing and understanding the delivery of therapeutics.
