The goal of the course is to provide an overview of the field of microsystems in biology and medical sciences. Students will get to know the current approaches to fabrication of microsystems for bioapplications and have a basic knowledge of the principles in the field of biosensors and microfluidics. Main bioapplications will be reviewed.
