The course provides a foundational understanding of chemical spectroscopy for biomedical applications. Students will learn the theoretical principles and practical aspects of light scattering, surface plasmon resonance, vibrational spectroscopy, absorption, and fluorescence spectroscopy, along with their applications in biosensing, assays, and imaging.
The course also explores how nanotechnology contributes to the advancement of molecular sensing and imaging, particularly in diagnostics. By the end of this course, students will gain the ability to utilize various spectroscopic tools in their biomedical research and development. Third-year undergraduate students are also encouraged to join the course. No prerequisites are required, but the material will include concepts from classical electrodynamics (physics) as well as physical chemistry.
