PH3301 Introduction to Bioimaging & Biosensing Techniques

This foundational course aims to develop a basic understanding of core physics, engineering, basics of chemistry and related concepts including nanotechnology behind the cutting edge bioimaging and biosensing techniques for clinical diagnostics. Through this course, you will learn the fundamental theoretical background of these techniques. Further, you will be able to apply the basic knowledge of physics and engineering to understand the instrumentation of these biosensing and imaging modalities. As a result, you will understand how these techniques are applied to current common medical problems, which may eventually open up new doors to enormous possibilities in biomedical research and related industries that you may undertake in future. You will also be able to compare the merits and demerits of these techniques and how to select a particular technique for a specific application. You will also learn the latest development and research trends in this domain. This course comprises of 27 hours of lectures and 12 hours of tutorials and terms tests.
