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.

Explanation (English)Students who are absent without authorization from one or more practical
sessions will receive a final grade of F (Fail) for the course. In this
case, the student must attend the practical sessions again in the
following academic year and meet all practical requirements before a
final grade can be awarded. The student must also re-enroll in the
course in the next academic year.
