Nanomedicine

This program provides students with the knowledge, motivation, and self-learning skills required for continuous professional development along with complex project experience and problem solving. Our goal is that these students use their potential to become future leaders and champions of nano health. Students will have the option of having a primary or dual program focus. A dual focus would have an additional emphasis on Medical Physics.

With the rapid and constant evolution of science and technology in the 21st Century, in particular in the areas of nanotechnology and nanomedicine, we developed a program devoted solely to this discipline. The exploration of nanomedicine will lead to new insights in diagnostics and therapy. This innovative masters program promises to teach the latest scientific breakthroughs in nanotechnology. Program focus is on the diagnostic and therapy applications of nanomedicine. The research and education outcomes will be applied to the development of next generation treatment options for disease and the instrumentation used to deliver it.

RTU's program is the first of its kind in the nation and builds the bridge to narrow the gap between nanotechnology and medicine. Dr. Renat Letfullin and the rest of the RTU faculty will provide students with the knowledge, skill set and practical experience necessary to lead the way in this exciting area.

Entry into this program requires a Bachelor of Science degree in a variety of science, math or engineering backgrounds.

Career opportunities include those in biomedical technologies, medical physics, pharmaceutical and drug development as well as academic and industrial research.
