The aim of the course:
To raise awareness about biomaterials that are beneficial for human health and benefit and to facilitate the integration of students taking the course with developments in this field. To guide students' interests in the discovery and development of new non-toxic biocompatible biomaterials that can be derived from biological raw materials and to contribute to their knowledge of the latest advances in this field.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
