Students take BIOE 507 as a Component I of the research concentration of the MBE program. The class is 2 credit hours counting toward an MBE degree. The project may vary depending on the mentor’s group focus and range from lab assay work, material studies, design, and assembly of biomedical devices, simulations, and many others. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for BIOE 507 if student has credit for BIOE 307.

This course will cover the basic principles of optics, optical instrumentation, microscopy and molecular detection technologies. Emphasis will be placed on the application of advance microscopy techniques to imaging problems in biology and medicine. This course is intended for first year BIOE PhD students only.
