Department of Biotechnological Engineering

- Polymer and Macromolecular Science and Technology an Introductory Course
369-2-5241

- Nano-Biotechnology A
369-1-2111
This course will describe the construction and use of biosensors, including fiber-optic immunosensors, whole-cell fiber-optic biosensors, hologram biosensors, acoustic biosensors etc... Emphasis will be placed on the chemical immobilisation methodologies and the use of various transducer configurations. The student will be expected to make an oral presentation of a work published in a similar area

- Nano-Biotechnology B
369-1-2211
Nano-biotechnology is the manipulation of matter at the molecular level to create new products with atom by - atom precision. This technological revolution will be described in the context of biotechnology. The course will describe the principles of scanning probe microscopy: molecular resolution of bio/in-organic materials, chemical imaging by scanning force microscopy, the quantification of adhesion forces between molecules, positioning signal atoms using proximal probes and finally either destructive or constructive molecular manipulations. We will elaborate on the problems and constraints of nanobiotechnology and discuss how these effect the future of molecular lithography, Molecular sensors, molecular manufacturing biochips and bioelectronics. The student will be expected to make an oral presentation of a work published in a similar area

- Utilization of Microbial Metabolites in Biotechnology
369-1-2131

- Biotechnology and medical ethics
369-1-3091
The course in Biotechnology and Medical ethics provides the student with a background in the main issues of the hot topics in biotechnology such as cloning, pervasiveness of diagnostics nanobiotechnology, tissue engineering, genetically modified foods etc... Views from most players in the field such as lawyers, law-makers, politicians philosophers, religious bodies are discussed. The student is expected to make a study in bioethics (topic decided at the beginning of the class), which the student will present at the end of the course to his peers and grading will consist in a written report. References and sources are provided throughout the course
