KREMS, Austria, February 28, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
- A New Interdisciplinary Course Provides Specialised Knowledge Greatly
in Demand
Nanotechnology is one of the key technologies of the 21st century. It is
already of immense significance in medicine as well as industry. Together
with the Vienna University of Technology and the University of Natural
Resources and Applied Life Sciences Vienna, Danube University Krems has
developed a postgraduate Master's program in nanobiosciences and nanomedicine
which imparts interdisciplinary and practice-oriented knowledge in this
sub-speciality. The course will start in the autumn of 2011.
Three universities are contributing their specialised knowledge to the
outstanding and modular organized part-time "MSc NanoBiosciences &
NanoMedicine". Danube University's networking with the Vienna University of
Technology and the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences
Vienna has made it possible to develop a unique curriculum. The Master's
programme will address interdisciplinary requirements and opportunities in
the field of nanotechnology. "Nanosciences possess an enormous potential as
regards medicine, the economy and society at large. We want to prepare
experts for their forthcoming tasks by providing an integrative concept of
teaching and research, at the same time promoting the creation of innovative
jobs," says one of the co-founders, Univ.-Prof. Dr. Dieter Falkenhagen of
Danube University Krems.
Curriculum and Target group
In addition to imparting basic knowledge in the fields of biophysics,
biochemistry, genetics, microbiology and molecular biology, the course will
encompass revolutionary approaches in tumour therapy, tissue and organ
substitution, drug delivery systems, the biotolerability of materials, sensor
technology and the use of nanoanalytical methods. Also the risks of
nanotechnology will be discussed and reviewed critically. This six-semester
Master's program addresses executives, researchers, developers and
decision-makers in the fields of natural and engineering sciences,
particularly biology, the pharmaceutical industry, and medicine.
