It is not allowed to withdraw from this subject after the registration deadline.Remarque
This year the course is held in an amended format giving more freedom to students to learn plan and perform researchSummary
Advanced Bioengineering Methods Laboratories (ABML) offers laboratory practice and data analysis. These active sessions present a variety of techniques employed in the bioengineering field and matching a quantitative and technological based approach.Content
Keywords
Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Lab on the chip (LOC) , Brownian motion, Optical trapping , Surface Plasmon Resonance. bioanalytics, surface design, writing scientific papers
Learning Prerequisites
Required courses
Required background: Biophysics I, Biothermodynamics, Biomicroscopy I, + mandatory courses of M1
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the student must be able to:- Demonstrate oral and written communication skills
- Perform experiments
- Coordinate experiments
- Operate the respective instruments of their assigned exercises
- Compose a convincing research paper describing their research project following the style guides of a letter to Nature
Expected student activities
Beyond the work requested during the supervised sessions (practice and analysis), the student will have to:
- Read the introduction of each topic before the corresponding practice, and summarize this information in his laboratory notebook.
- 'Review the data analysis tools needed for the analysis sessions and prepare the required calculations ahead of the corresponding analysis session.
- Fill the laboratory notebook progressively along the semester.
- Develop a research plan for the independent project
- Write the research paper
The workload varies widely with the capabilities of each student. However, we expect, for each of the 6 topics investigated, an approximate working time of
- 2 h : Preparation of the practical session'
- 4 h : Practical session
