Summer Research School in Nanomedicine
Nanomedicine and Live Imaging in Neuroscience
July 30- August 23 2012 in Tokyo, Japan
The Swedish Medical Nanoscience Center at Karolinska Institutet is organizing a joint Summer Research School for graduate students together with highly ranked institutions in Japan and China. The purpose is to provide a global course program in Nanomedicine, and to promote research and interactions among young PhD candidates.
- Airfare and housing are paid for by the organizers. Students pay for their own meals.
- Course credits is given to KI students

Scientific visualization and presentation in 3D – Course 2620 (3hp)
October 8-19, 2012
This course provides you with basic knowledge in 3D modeling and rendering in Autodesk Maya. The main focus of the course is to create images for life science research. The content includes modeling of proteins, cells, DNA and some examples of tissue. In addition to producing 3D renders and animations, you will also learn how to composit these images in Adobe CS5 to figures for scientific papers and presentations. We also learn how to make short animations and to visualize key points in your research that are hard to explain without moving images.
The format of the workshop is six 3.5 hour seminars led by Assistant Professor Björn Högberg. Assignments will be distributed to be completed between the seminars. The final goal will be to start working on a visualization topic from your own research field.
Open to registered PhD students at Swedish universities.
Schedule: 09.00-12.30 on October 8, 9, 11, 15, 17 and 19
You need to bring your own laptop, at least Core i3 or equivalent processor recomended, a netbook or tablet will not work. Software will be supplied. Course evauation

2012 Medical Nanosciences, 1.5 credits (course no 2429)
The course is mainly aimed for doctoral students from the fields of biomedicine, medicine and engineering with an interest in recent developments and biomedical applications of nanotechnology. Thus, the topics covered includes organic bioelectronics, principles of micro- and nanofluidic devices, application of polymers and nanoparticles, miniaturized biosensors and advances in electron microscopy. The course is based on a series of lectures, and interactive discussions with the teachers. The course is given in the form of a retreat, and an interactive task. Course evaluation
20120903-1005 Nanomedicine, 7.5 credits
Nanomedicine is a new research area at KI, where medicine and technology are combined in an interdisciplinary fashion to find new solutions to treat common diseases as well as to develop new methods of studying biological systems. This course introduces nanomedicine and relevant applications in pharmaceutical delivery, diagnostic imaging, bioelectronics as well as regenerative medicine. The course includes lectures, seminars, journal clubs, and laboratory demonstrations.

20090421-0520 Medical nanosciences and bioelectronics (course no 2308)
The applicability of novel materials, such as conducting polymers, has opened novel possibilities to address questions relevant for various areas in medicine and biomedicine. Such materials also come with a great promise for the development of new generations of treatment regimens and tools for analyzing and steering biological processes. The purpose of the course is to provide an introduction into the fields of organic bioelectronics and material development, such that the attendants are exposed to the new possibilities and prospects provided by the field. The course consists of lectures/seminars given by leading experts of the field. In addition, at the beginning of the course attending graduate students are given an assignment that is going to be presented as a poster at the end of the course. The assignments are to be carried out in groups of two students with different educational backgrounds, whereby students with a biomedical or
non-biomedical background are encouraged to apply. Course evaluation - Swedish
This course was developed into the course Medical Nanosciences (2429).
20111108 Swedish Medical Nanoscience Visualization Workshop
November 8, 10, 11, and 14, 09:00-12:00.
How do you explain and visualize your science so that it can be understood by a larger audience? In this 4 half-day long workshop. You will learn the basics of 3D modeling and rendering for scientific visualization and presentation. Using the software such as Autodesk Maya and Adobe CS, Björn Högberg from the Swedish Medical Nanoscience Center will provide you with an insight into how to create engaging visuals that will enhance your application, your paper or your powerpoint presentation.
