Biochips and Medical Imaging
Recent cutting-edge, translational research in diagnostics and nano-therapies is having a major influence on how we treat and prevent cancer and cardiovascular diseases. This course covers state-of-the-art and emerging bio-sensors, bio-chips, imaging modalities and nano-therapies studied in the context of human biology and physiology—the nervous system, circulatory system and immune system.
Topics Include
- Molecular and cellular biology
- The nervous, circulatory and immune system
- Cancer and cardiovascular disease
- DNA, RNA and protein sensor arrays
- In-vivo medical imaging
- Molecular imaging modalities such as MRI, PET and photoacoustic imaging
Note: This course is cross listed with SBIO225 and MATSCI225.
