Objectives and competences
The students will learn about the application of biological macromolecules in laboratory diagnostoc methods and devices. They will be informed on properties of biological macromolecules, their ability to bind ligands and on factors defining their specificity. The methods for their isolation and the preparation of stabile forms will be presented. Students will be acquainted with types of diagnostic assays and biosensors. Their functioning, technologies for laboratory and large scale production and methods for quality control and assurance will be presented
Teaching and learning methods
Lectures, seminars, tutorial discussions, problem based learning, group learning.
Expected study results
Knowledge and understanding:
Understanding of biodiagnostics and biosensors enables the application for self treatment, in clinical and industrial biotechnological laboratories optimising the treatment and biotechnological processes..
