Prerequisites:
None

Academic preconditions:
The science-year (first year) must be completed.

Course introduction
The students will carry out an interdisciplinary nanobioscience project involving experiments (measurement of physical or chemical properties, synthesis, spectroscopy, analysis), reading of literature and reporting of results.

Expected learning outcome
The students will be able to

• Investigate literature background of chosen project using, e.g. ISI web of Science, Scifinder etc.
• Plan and carry out experimental work
• Describe and interpret own experimental results
• Be aware of potential sources of experimental errors
• Place their own results in the wider context of the state-of-the-art in the topic
• Present results, clearly and concisely, in a public forum (in form of a poster defence)

Subject overview
Projects will be formulated by the supervising teachers (from Chemistry, Physics and BMB) and posted on e-learn one week before the first meeting. Students should register via e-learn so that they can be notified of the first meeting in the first week of the semester by email. The project starts with a literature search through which the students familiarize themselves with the project topic and the latest research developments concerning this topic. A plan of the experimental work must be discussed with the respective supervisor(s). In the following period, the students carry out experiments in the lab. The last part of the project is devoted to data analysis and preparation of the reporting material (oral, poster plus written experimental and supplementary information). Topics may include: Biomolecule nanostructures and properties, immobilization of biomolecules, inorganic-biomolecule conjugates, analysis, spectroscopy and surface techniques.
