Programme

Ready for New Discoveries

Nanobiotechnology and Nanomedicine are two of the most significant key technologies of the 21st century, with the promises of great economic, socio-political and business potential. The postgraduate Master of Engineering (MEng) program NanoBiosciences & NanoMedicine offered by the Vienna University of Technology in association with Danube University Krems and the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences provides interdisciplinary specialist knowlegde with a practical orientation in these fields.

Target audience

The Master´s program is intended primarily for

Those who have competed courses in natural or medical sciences or courses in engineering sciences that are relevant to the field
Managers, researchers, decision makers and sales managers from the aforementioned specialist fields
Doctors and pharmacists

Emphases/Curriculum

In addition to communicating basic knowledge in the fields of biophysics, biochemistry, molecular genetics, microbiology and molecular biology, the program covers revolutionary approaches in tumor therapy, drug-delivery systems, tissue engineering, biocompatibility of materials, sensor technology and applications of nanoanalytic methods in diagnosis.

The risks involved in nanotechnology form a dedicated topic for critical analysis. The application of the theoratical knowledge in group discussions and case studies, as well as to practical issues, means that the ability of the students to make practical decisions is furhter developed, ensuring that the knowledge acquired can be directly implemented in the relevant professional situations.

Heads of Academic Staff

“Nanobioscience and nanomedicine are interdisciplinary sciences and technology-oriented areas with the greatest future potential in life science. In very specific areas of medicine, nanobioscience and nanomedicine will most certainly transform our present chances of curing cancer as well as tissue and organ degeneration by the use of innovative therapies as well as diagnostic "nanotools". We will participate in this development by creating hundreds and thousands of innovative jobs in our society.“
Univ.Prof.Dr. Dieter Falkenhagen
(Danube University Krems)

“Nanotechnology has developed into an enabling technology for many fields of science. Especially in biotechnology and medicine, the approach through nanoscience is the principal means of making new discoveries and employing techniques of advanced analysis. Knowledge of the state of the art of nanotechnology techniques with special emphasis on biology and medicine will enable the students to keep pace with the most recent discoveries as well as apply the latest innovations in their daily routine.“
Univ.Prof.Dr. Erich Gornik
(Vienna University of Technology)

“Nanotechnology is regarded as one of the key technologies of the 21st century. Although specific areas of research are still being defined and the entire scope of its technological application is yet to be discovered, it is evident that one of the most fruitful areas of research will be the interface between life and non-life sciences, particularly biology and physics. As transdisciplinary fields of research and technology, nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine provide the key technology for several future markets. It is also evident that innovative technologies such as nanobiosciences and nanomedicine will play a key role in the development of a knowledge-based society, which is one of the long-term objectives of the European Community.“
