Kursinnehåll
The aim of this course is to give the theoretical background and practical experience required to explain the role of surfaces in living systems, and to create, control and measure surface chemical properties of biological and artificial interfaces.
The course is project orientated with ties both to academy and the surrounding industry. The course is based on applied problems and contains surface-chemical techniques to study phenomena related to biological and artificial interfaces. Biocompatibility is used to illustrate the need of modifying or create artificial interfaces with specific properties. A large number of surface chemical methods are described for the characterization of air / liquid, liquid / liquid and solid surfaces. The activity of biological interfaces is investigated in projects that focus on immunoassays, enzyme activity, the development of biosensors, cell migration and wound healing.

Kursvärdering
Malmö University provides students who participate in, or who have completed a course, with the opportunity to express their opinions and describe their experiences of the course by completing a course evaluation administered by the University. The University will compile and summarise the results of course evaluations. The University will also inform participants of the results and any decisions relating to measures taken in response to the course evaluations. The results will be made available to the students (HF 1:14).
