Prerequisites

Having passed Physics 2 exam, thus demonstrating a proper comprehension of the origin and properties of electromagnetic waves.

Learning outcomes

The main goal of the course is to provide information about photonic techniques recently developed in the biomedical field for diagnosis and treatments.

At the end of the course the student will be able to:
1.Understand the different possibilities offered by photonic technologies
2. choose the right components for different applications
3.Develop critical comparisons between different techniques
4. Properly communicate, by also using adequate graphical materials, the working principle of different photonic systems
5.Evaluate the possibility to modify an existing apparatus so as to comply with changes in the experimental needs.


Course contents

The course coers 10 main topics:
01- Short review of biological systems
02- Optical Imaging
03- Raman
04- Biosensors
05- Microfluidics
06- Optical trapping
07- Optical devcies for cell manipulation
08- Acoustofluidics
09- Implantable biophotonic systems
10- Photo dynamic therapy

Teaching methods

Lectures (hours/year in lecture theatre): 23
The possibility to carry out some lessons directly at the Integrated Photonics Lab will also be avaluated

Reccomended or required readings

We will mainly refer to scientific papers and on the slides used in the lessons
The material will be made available by using the course website

Assessment methods

The exams consists in a presentation prepared by the student in which a particular topic is treated in detail and on a general discussion about the techniques presented in the course
