Language of Teaching / Examination: | English |
Duration: | 1 semester |
Frequency of Offer: | Every summer semester |
Credits: | 8 |
Learning Outcome: | Experimental techniques and general manipulation with surfaces and nanodispersed systems are very different from other techniques in biotechnology. During the laboratory course the students have to understand this difference, to study a work with thoroughly purified surfaces and finally get experience in the main experimental approaches used in nanobiotechnology: surface characterization and modification, formation and characterization of nanoparticles and liposomes, visualization and characterization of monomolecular layers, application of plasmonic effects to study interaction of biomolecules, operation with model lipid systems. The students work with different information sources thus training their methodical competence. During the course the students are initiated to participate in scientific discussions, this is important for training of not only professional but also social competence. |
Contents: | During the lab course the students learn a number of the mostly important methods of nanobiotechnology. During the introductary seminar the main principles of experimental work in nanobiotechnology and lab safety rules are discussed. Then the students make independent scientific work in actual topics of nanobiotechnology, for example:
|
Recommended Prerequisites: | Knoledge in Biotechnology, Chemistry, Physics, Engineering Sciences. |
Mandatory Prerequisites: | Only applies to the Master Biotechnology PO 2018 with 4 semesters standard period of study: Successfull completion of module

Forms of Teaching and Proportion: |
|
Teaching Materials and Literature: | Because there is still no student book on Nanobiotechnology, the students are advised to work with scientific reviews, original scientific publications, as well as with protocols and application notes of manufactures of the devices, with lectures scripts and with information from Internet. Some particular topics are presented in the books:
|
Module Examination: | Continuous Assessment (MCA) |
