20.309 Biological Engineering II: Instrumentation and Measurement

20.309 Biological Engineering II: Instrumentation and Measurement (Fall 2006, MIT OCW). Instructors: Maxim Shusteff, Prof. Peter So, and Prof. Scott Manalis. This course covers sensing and measurement for quantitative molecular/cell/tissue analysis, in terms of genetic, biochemical, and biophysical properties. Methods include light and fluorescence microscopies; electro-mechanical probes such as atomic force microscopy, laser and magnetic traps, and MEMS devices; and the application of statistics, probability and noise analysis to experimental data. Enrollment preference is given to juniors and seniors. (from ocw.mit.edu)
