About
About the course
Course content
This course will cover fundamentals of bioanalysis and module integration for applications. In detail the course will contain:
Protein conjugation chemistry. DNA hybridisation chemistry. Methods for quantification and identification of DNA/RNA and protein with focus technical principles and emerging nanotechnologies. Use of imaging in nanoscale biomedical research. Microfluidics. Principles for and contruction of lab-on-a-chip and biosensors. Neurosensors. In vivo diagnostics by use of nanotechnologies.
Learning outcome
The students shall gain insight into technological integration of chemistry, physics and molecular biology for use in bioanalysis relevant for biomedical research and diagnostics. The students shall also understand the principles for and construction of analytical and stuctural modules that can be integrated into micro- and nanotools. The students will get an in-depth understanding of one of the topics from the lectures by writing a litterature report.
Learning methods and activities
The syllabus of the course is defined by the learning objectives. The course is based on lectures given by experienced researchers within each theme. The course includes a mandatory project providing an in-depth review of the primary litterature, which will account for 25 % of the final grade. The language of instruction is English.
