Applications & Safety

Medicine, energy and responsibility. Pharmacokinetics, catalysis, nanomedicine, nano-energy and environmental uses, and nanotoxicology and regulation.

• Pharmacokinetics & Drug Delivery Systems — Modelling how drugs move through the body. Learn ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion), one- and two-compartment models, volume of distribution, clearance and half-life, IV bolus, infusion and oral dosing, repeated dosing and steady state, therapeutic windows, controlled-release systems (diffusion, erosion, osmotic pumps), nanoparticles and targeted delivery — with Python simulating dosing regimens.
• Catalysis — Catalysts speed reactions without being consumed. Learn homogeneous, heterogeneous and enzyme catalysis, how catalysts lower activation energy, adsorption–reaction–desorption steps, Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetics, internal diffusion (Thiele modulus, effectiveness factor), selectivity and deactivation.
• Nanomedicine, Nano-Energy & Nanosafety — Nanotechnology at work — responsibly. Learn nanomedicine (lipid nanoparticles for mRNA, liposomal drugs like Doxil, the EPR effect and active targeting, controlled release kinetics — Higuchi and first order, theranostics, photothermal therapy, nano-diagnostics), nano-energy (battery nanomaterials, catalysts, perovskite and QD solar cells, hydrogen), environmental nano (water filtration, photocatalysis, sensors), nanosafety and toxicology (surface-area dose, inhalation, biodistribution), regulation, life-cycle and ethics — with Python for drug release profiles and surface-area dose.
