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
