Industrial pharmacy

The aim of this module is to illustrate the applications of the nanotechnologies in the pharmaceutical and biomedical field. In particular, the main applications of nanotechnologies in drug delivery, medicine and theranostics will be showed, both for systems under already on the market and for the most innovative systems in the early research stage. This aim will be reached through the achievement of specific objectives concerning: • The description of the main nanotechnological systems developed and under research, with an illustration of their structure and of the rationale underlying their application; • the knowledge of the national and international regulatory bases for nanotechnological products; • the knowledge of the main formulations and production of nanotechnological products; • the ability to systematically apply the knowledge acquired in the course to the various operational contexts in which the student, once he has obtained his degree, will operate; • the ability to communicate the results of their own elaborations to the stakeholders; • the ability to find information necessary for the self-updating. These specific objectives will be achieved through the provision of lectures, the execution of group work and the preparation of written reports.
