This course is taught by several professors who have distinct expertise in the field of biomaterials. From my perspective, I focus on the application of membranes in the biomedical field, with an emphasis on the applications that our team works on, such as blood separation membranes or membranes for wound dressings. The course is offered to both undergraduate and graduate students.
I teach 6 weeks each semester (each session lasts 3 h), and the topics of my lectures are as follows:
Fall semester
Membranes in the biomedical field
Membranes in the biomedical field 2 (focus on our activity)
Introduction to membrane formation by NIPS
Antibiofouling membranes
PS-co-PEGMA additive for antibiofouling membranes
Examination
Spring semester
Zwitterionic copolymers for in-situ modified antibiofouling membranes
Anti-bacterial membranes
Molecular design parameters influencing antifouling performances
Membrane additives withstanding steam-sterilization
Writing a paper about the preparation/application of membranes
Examination
