Hans Deyhle (hans.deyhle@unibas.ch)
Mattia Humbel (mattia.humbel@unibas.ch) Iwan Jerjen (iwan.jerjen@unibas.ch) Zarah Korb (zarah.korb@unibas.ch) Bert Müller (bert.mueller@unibas.ch, Assessor) Bekim Osmani (bekim.osmani@unibas.ch) |
| Content | Introduction to the nano-structural characterization of human tissues and medically relevant materials, contact-angel measurements and small-angle X-ray scattering experiments Introduction to electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy experiments Introduction to atomic force microscopy and bending plate experiments Medically relevant science at Paul Scherrer Institute, Villigen |
| Learning objectives | The students will become familiar with state-of-the art instrumentation for the characterization of medically relevant materials down to the molecular scale. Under supervision, they will carry out selected experiments and analyze their results. The related reports of the experiments not only support the performance review (grading) but, more important, they should enable the students to efficiently start with the envisioned Master thesis projects. |
| Admission requirements | Mandatory: (C13) Materials in Medicine and Biomaterials, Basics in Mathematics similar knowledge to 52055-01 (C04), Recommanded to register to: C05/53772-01 and C21/70402-01, Nice to have: C16/ 69471 Basics in Mechanics: Statics und C56/70411-01 Basics in Statistics Limited student numbers, priority given to student in Biomedical Engineering |
