The number of materials and devices produced
using nano technology is rapidly growing.
With recent advances in the field, nano materials
and nano particles start to be widely used in all
fields of life. In order to avoid eventual
health problems, documentation of the effects of nano
particles and materials on organisms and cells is
of utmost importance. During the nanotoxicology
course, the effects of nano particles and materials on
human health and, stress, disease and death responses
of the organisms and cells to nano particles
and materials will be analyzed and discussed from a
molecular biology perspective. Nano particles/materials
in industry and in the environment, methods to study
nanotoxicology, organismal responses to nanomaterials,
entry-uptake, faith of nano particles in cells and cellular
and molecular stress and death responses against
them will be covered during the course.
