CHEM 400: Molecular Sensing, Imaging, Spectroscopy, and Nanodiagnostics

  • Prerequisite: CHEM 209 or CHEM 221 or CHEM 356

The course will provide a foundational understanding of chemical spectroscopy for biomedical applications. Students will learn both the theoretical principles and practical aspects of optical, electronic, and magnetic spectroscopy, along with their applications in biosensing, assays, and imaging.

In this context, we will also dive into how nanotechnology and quantum technology significantly contribute to this research field of molecular sensing and imaging, particularly for diagnostic applications. By the end of this course, students will have gained a better understanding of quantitative interpretation of biological phenomena and the ability to utilize spectroscopic tools in their biomedical research. Third-year undergraduate students are also encouraged to join the course.
