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.
Learning outcome
After completing the course MOL3014, the student should be able to:
Knowledge
- understand how micro/nanotechnology can be tailored and used for biomedical purposes
- understand the problems and possibilities for analysis of proteins, nucleic acids, cells and tissues by micro fabricated devices and nanotechnological solutions, including microdroplets
- outline 2D/3D fabrication procedures and general considerations for microfluidics
General Proficiency
- find, refer and consider relevant information
