The course is divided in four parts :
1. General introduction, Principle and hopes
2. How to design nano for imaging, vectorisation and drug delivery?
2.1. Molecular synthesis
2.2. bio-nano-objects : inorganic synthesis
2.3. bio-nano-objects : organic synthesis
3. Medical Imaging
Description of the main classes of medical imaging technology and the use of nanotechnology in cellular and molecular imaging
3.1. Nuclear imaging and nanometric probes
3.2. Optical imaging, intravital microscopy and fluorescent probes
3.3. Magnetic Resonance imaging and magnetic nanoparticles
4. Vectorisation and Therapy
4.1. Magnetic vectorisation and therapy
4.2. Photodynamic therapy
4.3. Biochemical vectorisation of drugs and vaccines
A seminar for a company working in this field will be organized (NhTheraguix) as well as a visit to the small animal imaging platform of Lyon (Cermep).
