Nanomedicine Summer School

Each year the University of Oxford holds a Summer School which focuses on applications of nanotechnologies in a different field. Comprising presentations from leading researchers and practitioners from the University of Oxford and beyond, in 2015 the theme is Nanotechnologies for Medicine and Healthcare, reflecting growing interest in the subject and the University of Oxford's position at the cutting-edge of research and development.

Nanotechnology is a new exciting field that has the potential to transform the way that medical and healthcare solutions are developed and delivered. This year’s Nanotechnology Summer School will focus on the impact that nanotechnology has in the advance of medicine, healthcare and bio-sensing techniques and discuss how to progress this area to meet future needs.

The Nanomedicine Summer School is essential for anyone with an interest in these topics.

The Summer School will be delivered by leading experts from the University of Oxford and distinguished guest speakers from academia, industry and regulatory bodies.

This five-day intensive course provides a thorough overview of the exciting and emerging discipline of nanomedicine. Each of the five days of the Nanomedicine Summer School has a dedicated theme and is led by key researchers in the field. When combined the course covers all aspects of the nanomedicine, including diagnostics, therapeutics, biosensors and nanotechnologies for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. The course will be valuable to those seeking an introduction to current research and applications in the subject.

• Monday: Introduction to Nanomedicine: Challenges and Opportunities
• Tuesday: Nanotechnologies for Regenerative Medicine and Tissue Engineering
• Wednesday: Nanomedicine - Diagnostics
• Thursday: Nano-Biosensors
• Friday: Nano-Pharmaceuticals
