Course description
This course is an applied course to learn the clinical significance of measuring biomolecules, especially in cancer after understanding biomolecules from a view of organic chemistry.
In this course, we aim to acquire basic knowledge about proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and sugars. In addition, you can learn about insights into the latest engineering in measuring biomolecules as disease diagnostic markers.
Expected Learning
The four major biomolecules that constitute living organisms, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and sugars,provide important information in diagnosis.The aim of this series is that by learning about the development of disease diagnostic devices based on bioengineering.give students their own opinions about future medical care.
Course schedule
1st class. Sugar
2nd class. Lipid
3rd class. Cell, immune reactions
4th class. Cancer
5th class. Cancer drug discovery
6th class. Biomaterials
7th class. Biomolecular measurement 1
8th class. Biomolecular measurement 2
Prerequisites
The committing learning attitude of yourselves to catch the items and messages presented in the classes is respected, but not just to seat still to listen to the lecture. Substantial participation to the class is highly welcomed.
Required Text(s) and Materials
Not specified.
References
Not specified. When necessary, appropriate references will be introduced in the classes.
Assessment/Grading
(1) Examination at the end of semester, (2) a few reports, and (3) short quizzes for every classes. The weight of evaluation of (1)/(2)/(3) is approximately 2/1/1.
Message from instructor(s)
I hope that you will be interested in the development of devices that integrate bio/medical knowledge and engineering technology to diagnose diseases.
