Careers
Thanks to higher sensitivity and specificity, short response times and reduction of overall costs, biosensors can be very competitive in addressing these needs when compared to traditional methods.
Ulm University's Biochemical Sensors module imparts a general overview of biosensors with different points of focus, such as the basics of chemistry and molecular biology, biological detection methods, physical transduction methods, and immobilization techniques as well as biochip technologies.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- Biosensors
- Review of the basics of chemistry and molecular biology
- Biological detection methods: catalytic, immunologic, etc.
- Physical transduction methods: electrochemical, optical, gravimetric, etc.
- Immobilization techniques: adsorption, entrapment, cross-linking, covalent bonds
- Biochip technologies: DNA and protein chips, Ion-channel devices, MEA and MTA, Implants
- Student seminars
- Laboratory practice with experimental demonstrations and quantitative determinations of analytes
