| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| To provide the student with an understanding of routine and state of the art methods of bioanalysis. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Explain the importance of sample collection, processing, preparation and storage for bioanalytical and pharmaceutical analysis. |
| 2 | Explain applications of bioanalysis. |
| 3 | Assess the use of diverse methods for detection and measurement of target biomolecules (small and large) in real-life situations. |
| Indicative Module Content |
|---|
| Diversity of target analytes and sample matrices such as blood, tissues from all parts of the body and urine. Challenges of selecting/developing robust processing and storage strategies. This module will advance the student's knowledge of spectroscopic, chromatographic and other current bioanalytical methods such as ligand binding assays. |
| Module Delivery |
|---|
| A combined approach utilising formal lectures, directed reading and tutorials. |
