Course Content: - Introduction to Biosensors: Important terms, definitions, components of a biosensor, Transducer and principles of operation, Biosensors-needs and demand - Recognition elements, immobilization strategies, assay formats, sensor characteristics and requirements - Piezoelectric transducers (Microgravimetric sensors, microbalances) - Optical sensors (surface plasmon resonance, techniques based on total internal reflection) - Electrochemical sensors (Potentiometric, amperometric, impedimetric, ion-selective, FET) - Bioelectronic devices (e.g. organic bioelectronics in vitro and in vivo) - Recent advances in the field Learning goals: The student can explain the components of a biosensor and different transducer principles The student has insight on the requirements of a biosensor The students can explain different technological layouts and working principles of bioelectronic devices The student has insight on various state-of-the-art techniques playing an important role in the detection of biomolecules, metabolites, and organic/inorganic contaminants. The student can select a suitable technique for the diagnosis of metabolic disorders, the early detection of diseases such as cancers as well as in environmental monitoring and food safety.

| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions |
- Presence at the practical sessions, Journal club discussions and presentation (assignment) is obligatory
- The practical reports, the journal club and the assignment scores are part of the final result. Practical reports must always be submitted.
|
|
|
|
| Consequences |
- Students who are unauthorized absent at one or more practica, receive as final grade for the course a N - unauthorized absence' and have to attend the practicum in the next academic year and have to meet the requirements (e.g. a signed report) to receive their final grade. The student needs to re-enroll in the course in the next academic year. In this case, partial grades can be transferred to the next academic year.
- Those who do not submit practical reports will receive an N - unauthorized absence as the end result.
