Biological macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins and cytoskeletal filaments are polymers. As such, they share a set of properties that are common to any polymer, which are the focus of this course. Details about the protein folding problem will be cove ...
Biochemistry is a key discipline for the Life Sciences. Biological Chemistry I and II are two tightly interconnected courses that aim to describe and understand in molecular terms the processes that make life possible. ...
The labels "biosensor" and "eBiochip" have been employed to refer to the most diverse systems and in several fields of application. The course is meant not only to provide means to dig into this sea
The theoretical background and practical aspects of heterogeneous reactions including the basic knowledge of heterogeneous catalysis are introduced. The fundamentals are given to allow the design of multiphase chemical reactors. ...
Primary cilia have emerged as an important organelle of cells to sense environmental cues that control embryogenesis and adult renal tubule and liver bile duct homoestasis. This course focuses on functional analysis of molecules implicated in signal transd ...
This advanced Bachelor/Master level course will cover fundamentals and approaches at the interface of biology, chemistry, engineering and computer science for diverse fields of synthetic biology. This class requires critical and analytical thinking at the ...
Sitting at the crossroad of organic chemistry and medicine, this course outlines how an initial hit compound transitions into a lead candidate, and ultimately a drug, in the modern drug discovery world.Note: the course is held only during 2nd half of spr ...
Optically excited 2D materials, host electron-hole pairs called excitons with high binding energies and long lifetimes. Deterministically stacked 2D materials form vdW heterostructures with versatile stacking configurations, making them highly versatile an ...
