Program
Part A: Short introduction to nanomedicine (history, definitions, applications, categories of nanomaterials etc.), focusing on diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
Part B: Anticancer effect of photocatalytic Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles. Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles have shown anticancer potential upon irradiation with UV or visible light. Synthesis, characterization, treatment, application of biological methods in order to investigate the induced apoptotic effect.
