Content

The student has an overview of the knowledge domains that are addressed in material research into applications for diagnostics and therapy in biomedical sciences.
The student acquires knowledge about characterization methods used in research into materials for biomedical applications
The student acquires knowledge and insight into methods used in the design of (bio) materials for biomedical applications
The student acquires knowledge of the concepts and methods used in the biophysics of biological interfaces, including the relationship between biomolecular structure and interactions between biological membrane and proteins.
The student acquires knowledge in basic concepts of solid state physics in relation to bio (chemical) sensors and sensor interface, the electrochemical cell and potential.
