About

About the course

Course content

This course will cover fundamentals in micro- and nanotechnologies for biomedicine such as diagnostics, research and therapy. In detail the course will contain: Biosensor fundamentals, nucleotide sequencing technologies, microfluidic and microfabrication basics, surface bioconjugation and biopatterning, hydrogel structuring, microdroplet technology, organs-on-chips and tissue engineering. This course is focused on technology rather than biology, but with uses primarily within biomedicine.
