Dear interested students

Aim of this course is getting to know the technologies to produce biocompatible nanomentric particles by using highly sustainable and maximally green processes which mainly resort to using naturally-sourced biological matrices. 

The student will learn: 1. The main classes of biological substances, 2. The methodologies for obtaining these substances from natural biomass, 3. the methodologies for producing functional nanoparticulate from each of these classes of substances, 5. The main processes and equipment that implement these production processes. The student will also learn the main problems of biomedical and cosmetic use of nanotechnologies.

The student who will exhibit a regular attendance of the course will be able to participate in group work intended to develop and strengthen soft skills such as: the ability to work in a group, the ability to dialogue with colleagues from different backgrounds,the ability to write a scientific/technical report and the ability to present one's work.

I hope to meet a numerous group of students on the first lecture, to make any fuzzy idea about what you'll learn crisper!

Please note that the course accompanying material will be shared by Google Classroom (students have to supply their official e-mail for that), and that course lessons planning, exams, student reception and other information regarding available theses can be found by consulting the website: https://sites.google.com/site/marcobravi/, where they are displayed and updated in real time. PLEASE LOOK THERE!
