ECE 416
Spring 2009 Part of Term 1
Jan 20-May 6
Credit: 3 hours.
Presents underlying engineering principles used to detect small molecules, DNA, proteins, and cells in the context of applications in diagnostic testing, pharmaceutical research, and environmental monitoring. Covers biosensor approaches including electrochemistry, fluorescence, acoustics, and optics, aspects of selective surface chemistry including methods for biomolecule attachment to transducer surfaces; characterization of bisensor performance; blood glucose detection; fluorescent DNA microarrays; label-free biochips; bead-based assay methods. Students analyze case studies of commercial biosensor systems.
Prerequisite: ECE 329.
