Nanobioengineering

Objectifs

At the end of this module, the student will have understood and be able to explain (main concepts):
 - Nanotechnological processes for the investigation, the sensing and the quantification of specific biomolecular interactions, the basis of all biosensing technologies
- The principles of some of these technologies: Fluorescence, Quartz Crystal Microbalance, soft lithography, surface biofunctionalization, single molecule assays, biochips, Atomic force microscopy
The student will be able to:
- Formulate nanoscale mechanisms and give precise examples of biomolecular specific interactions
- Master nanoscale techniques for biopatterning a substrate
- Master nanoscale techniques for transducing a molecular event into a measurable signal
- Analyze any kind of biosensor
- Perform a scientific experiment
- Implement nanotechnological processes
- Discuss and interpret results critically
- Bring together different concepts; extract them from their context in order to apply them in new situations
