Biomedical Technologies: Design and Development

Course Description

This is an interdisciplinary course that introduces students to the field of biomedical technologies. Students learn fundamental concepts in the areas of bioelectrical engineering, point-of-care sensors, fabrication, micro/ nano technologies, microfluidics, data processing, and global healthcare applications. The course will provide a detailed background on the engineering principles used for biosensor development. Microelectronic sensor fabrication and characterization of the point-of-care biosensors will be taught. The course also will also introduce students to the on-chip sample processing, surface functionalization techniques, label-free detection of biomolecules, electronic instrumentation, and data processing. Course will highlight the development of personalized predictive systems for health care using machine learning techniques. Course also includes case studies of point-of-care sensors. The course is cross listed for senior undergraduates and starting graduate students. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Graduate student or undergraduate senior only.
