Biomaterials and Drug Delivery in the Immune System

3.0 credits · Graduate

The objectives of this class are to introduce basic concepts, update the latest developments, identify critical bottlenecks, analyze complex problems, and demonstrate effective solutions relating to biomaterials and drug delivery in the immune system. The course will begin by introducing modern biomaterials and drug delivery systems. Then, basic concepts in immunology will be covered. Finally, several applications will be illustrated about how immunology impacts the design of next-generation biomaterials and drug delivery systems and how biomaterials and drug delivery systems impact the development of immunotherapies, vaccines and implants.
