Nanobiotechnology

Catalog description

The sensing and characterization of biological entities, processes and events, with novel nanoscale devices and nano-object mediated modalities, will be introduced and analyzed. This course will cover the fundamentals of nanotechnology in biological and biomedical research. The course work is approached from an engineering perspective offering insights on the details of nano-scale fabrication processes as well as cell biology. The basics of biology and chemistry, with focus on how to engineer the behavior of molecules at the nano-scale, are also introduced and analyzed. Concepts and processes related to BioMEMS and microfluidics will also be explained.
