![]() | Aims: This unit covers the principles, technologies, methods and applications of biosensors and bioinstrumentation. The objective of this unit is to link engineering principles to understanding of biosystems in sensors and bioelectronics. It will provide the student with detail of methods and procedures used in the design, fabrication and application of biosensors and bioelectronic devices. The fundamentals of measurement science are applied to optical, electrochemical, mass and pressure signal transduction. It will provide the student with an introduction to current research and development topics in biosensors, bioelectronics and bioengineering. Learning Outcomes: After successfully completing this unit students are expected to be able to: * Extend principles of engineering to the development of bioanalytical devices and the design of sensors; * Appreciate the basic configuration and distinction among biosensor systems; * Demonstrate appreciation for the technical limits of biosensor performance; * Have an overview of current electronic and electrical engineering topics in biosensors, bioelectronics and bioengineering. Skills: Report and literature survey writing. Presentation skills. Lateral thinking. The unit should instil some ability to think in terms of multidisciplinary approaches and application of instrumentation and sensing in electronic and electrical engineering. Taught, facilitated and assessed. Content: Introduction to biomolecular structure and function Biosensor devices: electrochemical, optical, mass/acoustic Introduction to nanotechnology applied to biosensing, bioelectronics and bioengineering Bioinstrumentation and medical devices Current research topics in biosensors and bioengineering. |
