Post Graduate Diploma/Executive Diploma in Nanotechnology

IGMPI

Nanotechnology based medicine has experienced substantial growth in the last half decade.With the use of nanotechnology, advances have been made towards improved localized delivery of drugs to tumor sites, improved efficacy and reduced side effects.Many pharmaceutical companies have already begun utilizing nanotechnology to improve drug delivery and targeting.The yearly volume of nano related patents has also increased. Pharmaceutical companies lack in-house expertise in nanotechnology, so there is a huge demand for trained experts in this field. It is, thus, important to develop a more scientific approach for strategic implementation of nanotechnology tools in the pharmaceutical industry.

IGMPI’s programme offers innovative learning and the programme modules are regularly updated. The Nanotechnology programme introduces the students to the analytical, quantitative and experimental methods used in nanotechnology. The main goals of this programme are to:

  • Impart a fundamental knowledge of the various methods used for the preparation of Nano particles
  • Provide understanding of the interaction of nanomaterials with biological systems
  • Educate regarding the medical applications of nanoparticles
  • Understand the concept and mechanism of drug targeting and
  • Interpret the experience and knowledge gained into practical approach

The programme is meant for Graduates and Post Graduates, employed plus yet to be employed candidates keen on taking Nanotechnology as their career choice.

After completion of this programme, the candidates will get a thorough overview of the current state of nanotechnology as well as the implications of these technologies for safety, regulation and innovation.The regulatory and ethical issues in using nanotechnology and their impacts are also discussed. Awareness about Nanoscale structures, their preparation, properties and applications will also be developed.
