Advanced Nanobiotechnology (20 ECTS)

2019/2020

Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for participation in the module

The module builds on knowledge obtained by the project on NB2 (2nd semester).

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

This project focuses on all kinds of advanced biostructures and their static and dynamic properties.

Different advanced nanobiostructures will be manufactured and/or modeled and their static and dynamic properties will be characterized using state-of-the-art scientific tools, techniques and theories.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Knowledge of the subject-specific methods as well as tools applied for the design, fabrication, characterization, and modeling of the biological and organic nanostructures
