About This Course

Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice, has garnered immense attention for its unique properties and wide-ranging applications. This workshop delves into the fundamental aspects of graphene, including its structure, properties, and non-medical uses, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of its medical applications. Participants will learn about the role of graphene in preventative medicine, its theranostic capabilities, and its effectiveness in treating various diseases.

Over four days, the workshop will cover the fundamentals of graphene, its applications in disease prevention and diagnosis, its therapeutic uses, and the novel properties of nanoscale graphene. Each session is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to understand and leverage graphene’s potential in the medical field. Through a combination of lectures, discussions, and case studies, attendees will gain a robust understanding of how graphene can revolutionize healthcare and what the future holds for this groundbreaking material.
