Training Courses in nano-bioenginering, biomaterials and biocompatibility – first round finished
14.05.2012The first round of the "Training Courses in nano-bioenginering, biomaterials and biocompatibility" finished in April 2012.
This Training Course of 250 hours addressed 26 young researchers, PhD and MSc students who study solid state physics and electronics, microelectronics and nanoelectronics, biomedical engineering, biology, medicine and related fields, coming from universities, academic laboratories, SMEs and industrial companies.
The course started on September 15, 2011 and lasted 6 months till April 2012. The lectures were organised on Wednesday (17:00-20:00) and Saturday (9:00-14:00) at the premises of the Technical University of Moldova, Department of Microelectronics and Semiconductor Devices.
The lectures were presented by professors and researchers from the partner-institutions like Hannover Medical School (Germany), Center for Device Thermography and Reliability (Bristol, UK), Technical University of Moldova, State University of Medicine and Pharmaceutics of Moldova and Institute of Electronic Engineering and Nanotechnologies of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova. Several lectures were delivered online by the professors from UK, via the Great Western Research Post-Graduate Training Network in Materials.
The subjects delivered during the course:
• Introduction to Biomedical Engineering
• Basics of Human Physiology
• Tissues and Molecular Engineering
• Medical Bioinstrumentation
• Digital Signal and Image Processing
• Biomaterials, Biocompatibility and Biosensors
• Methods of Functionalising Biological Objects with Nanomaterials
• Nanotechnologies in Medicine
• Spectroscopic Methods for the Study of Nanostructured Organic, Inorganic and Biological Materials
• Contemporary Methods of Study of Biological Objects and Nanomaterials
• Methods of Preparing Biological Samples for Microscopy Investigations
• Methods of Nanomaterials Fabricaton for Bioengineering Applications
The graduates of the Training Course will be awarded the Certificate of the Ministry of Education of Moldova, indicating the studied subjects, number of hours and the final exam mark.
