M.Tech. Medical Nanotechnology
Programme Educational Objectives
The M.Tech. programme in Medical Nanotechnology programme envisions to create a unique interdisciplinary knowledge center that integrates the principles of nanoscience, mathematics and engineering to develop technology-enabled solutions towards personalized healthcare and human welfare. The Programme aims to:
- Impart fundamental concepts in cellular, molecular and organismal biology through theory and laboratory training
- Train the learners with mathematical and logical tools to use sound discretion in evaluation and judgement of contemporary scientific literature
- Empower the learners with multiple caveats of materials and the changes in their properties upon structural organization starting from nano scale
- Train the learners to handle complex equipment, perform advanced analyses and communicate with precaution, precision, confidence and integrity
- Instill the leaners with confidence to work independently as well as the competence to work as a team player to achieve the defined goals
- Train leaners to find Nanotechnology based solutions for the benefit of the society that are technically sound, environmentally compatible, economically viable, sustainable, and commercially worthwhile.
Programme Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this programme, the M.Tech. Medical Nanotechnology graduand of SASTRA Deemed-to-be-University will be able to:
- Employ the underlying concepts in molecular, cellular and organismal basis of life, functioning and malfunctions to design strategies for addressing basic and applied problems in healthcare
- Identify the type of material, polymer or structure that is best suited to applications in healthcare and biomedicine
- Handle scientific equipment, characterize the given nanomaterials and analyze the data
- Identify gaps of knowledge in the medical nanotechnology field, propose novel solutions and evaluate their potential through meticulous design of experiments
- Initiate, carry out and manage a research project independently or as a team player
- Demonstrate environment consciousness, humane approach and societal concern in addressing an engineering problem
- Demonstrate leadership and entrepreneurship in the translation of the research from lab to healthcare industry
- Display highest order of professional ethics, honesty and integrity
