Introduction to Bioengineering and Applied Biophysics
The cource will build a foundation in the physical principles underlying Natures machinery from both a theoritical and experimental perspective spanning from biomolecules and single molecules up to tissue. In addition encompasses foundation subjects in applied biophysics, spectroscopy, imaging microscopy and physical principles of laser-tissue interaction. The main domains that this course covers are:
- Introduction to cells and their function.
- Biological macromolecules, structure and function.
- Proteomics, Genomics.
- DNA Technology
- Membrane structure and transport.
- Origin of electrical membrane potential.
- Generation of nerve action potential.
- The visual system, photoreceptors, light activation, color vision.
- Theory and principles of fluorescence.
- Microscopy (optical, fluorescence, confocal).
- Laser physics-laser tissue interactions.
- Physical principles of ultrasounds-ultrasounds-tissue interactions.
