A short annotation of the course
This lecture series will cover the properties of polymeric biomaterials, their types, and application areas in the medical field. Starting from the synthesis of functional polymeric materials, their conjugation to biomolecules, and preparation of various architectures like nanoparticles, hydrogels, and nanofibers will be explained. The stimuli-responsive polymeric materials will also be covered for both internal (pH, temperature or enzyme) and external (light, ultrasound and magnetic field) environmental changes. Literature examples for their use in targeted drug delivery systems (like cancer cells, mitochondria, and nucleus) and also for regeneration purposes will be given. Together with the theoretical background, two lab sessions will be organized, one of which is about the preparation of lipid-based nanoparticles and the other one includes the gelation of a natural polymer for obtaining a hydrogel scaffold.
