About the course
Aim
The course aims to give knowledge and experience in development of microsystems including nanotechnology, for uses in biotechnology and biomedicine. After finished course the students shall be able to:
- explain the motives and goals for the use of microsystems in biotechnology and biomedicine
- explain limitations and possibilities with miniaturisation of analysis systems for biological objects
- motivate choice of materials and methods for micro/nanosystems for biotechnology
- explain the most important principles behind self organization and functional polymers
- perform simple micro-patterning using photolithography and soft lithography
- present solution to seminar task
Content
Microsystems-fabrication and use in bioanalytical systems. Miniatyrization of electronic, chemical and mechanical functions. Self assembly of nano-structures and functional nano-materials. Nanotechnology for novel detection and enhanced sensitivity. Fabrication methods for microstructures, soft lithography and photolithography. Biological microchips, smart microsystems, single cell analysis, microfluidics.
