Course Synopsis

• This discipline helps to indicate the merger of biological research with various fields of nanotechnology. Concepts that are enhanced through nanobiology include: nanodevices, nanoparticles, and nanoscale phenomena that occurs within the discipline of nanotechnology. • The most important objectives that are frequently found in nanobiology involve applying nanotools to relevant medical/biological problems and refining these applications. • Developing new tools, such as peptoid nanosheets, for medical and biological purposes is another primary objective in nanotechnology. • New nanotools are often made by refining the applications of the nanotools that are already being used.

Course Learning Outcomes

Developing new tools, such as peptoid nanosheets, for medical and biological purposes is another primary objective in nanotechnology. New nanotools are often made by refining the applications of the nanotools that are already being used.
