  • BE 6253: Biosensors

    3.00 Credits
    Polytechnic Institute of New York University

    Discussion of various biosensors, which consist of bio-recognition systems, typically enzymes or binding proteins such as antibodies, immobilized onto the surface of physicochemical transducers. Immuno-sensors, which use antibodies as their biorecognition system, are also discussed. Other bio-recognition systems discussed are nucleic acids, bacteria, and whole tissues of higher organisms. Specific interactions between the target analyte and the complementary bio-recognition layer that undergoes a physicochemical change is ultimately detected and measured by the transducer. Various transducers, which can take many forms depending upon the parameters being measured-electrochemical, optical, mass and thermal changes are also part of the course. Prerequisite: CM 1004, CM 2214, CM 2614 and CM 9413.

  • BE 6303: Bio-optics

    3.00 Credits
    Polytechnic Institute of New York University

    Recent growth in the use of optics technology for biomedical research and health care has been explosive. New applications are made possible by emerging technologies in lasers, optoelectronic devices, fiber optics, physical and chemical sensors and imagingall of which are being applied to medical research, diagnostics, and therapy. This sequence course on optics for biomedical students combines fundamental knowledge of the generation and interaction of electromagnetic waves with applications to the biomedical field. It is hoped that this approach will not only provide tools for researchers in bio-physics, but also familiarize researchers, technologists and premed students with cutting- edge approaches. Prerequisite: an undergraduate course in physics that includes electricity, magnetism and waves such as PH 2004. Multivariable Calculus CMA 2112, MA 2122.
