| Course Description | This course is designed to give graduate students an in-depth acquaintance with the growing and complex field of biosensors. The material covered will familiarize the students with the sensors currently in use or under development, how they operate, and under what circumstances they can be useful. Emphasis will be given to critical comparison of different sensor modalities and how their limitations in realistic applications suggest the selection of one type of sensor over another. New material for this year will focus on DNA probes and microfluidic chemical analytical systems. |
| Laboratory | None. |
| Keywords | Biosensors, DNA probes, microfluidics, chemical analysis systems. |
