Objectives of the Course
This course focuses on biosensors and basic principles based on their design. The aim of the course is to have detailed knowledge that biosensors are biomaterials, or bioanalytical devices formed by combining biologically derivatized structures with electrochemical, optical, thermometric, piezoelectric or magnetic conductors. It is also helpful to know where and why these biosensors should be used.
