The PolyNano Summer School 2015 is held in collaboration with COST Action MP1205 Advances in Optofluidics and the EU project "CELL-O-MATIC"
Dates: 10-28 August 2015
The PolyNano summer school is arranged jointly by PolyNano, COST MP1205 and Cell-O-Matic. The summer school will give you both theoretical and hands-on training in bioanalytical and optofluidic applications, as well as in industrially relevant fabrication techniques for easier transfer of lab-on-chip systems (LOCs) to the market. At the same time, the PolyNano summer school will give you insight to the process of transforming scientific results into a commercially viable solution. The PolyNano summer school aims at building a common language between researchers with different backgrounds. For this reason, the school is open to students with either engineering and/or bio-chemical backgrounds. Within this framework, the school will provide you with tools to tackle the challenges of communication between different scientific disciplines in true cross-disciplinary research.
The school has three parallel experimental tracks: Electrochemical bioanalysis, optical trapping and DNA nanofluidics.
Learning objectives
If you have met the objectives of this course you will be able to:
- Describe and analyse the needs for industrially relevant fabrication of polymer Lab-on-Chip systems from an industrial point of view
- Construct a polymer chip using injection moulding and/or nanoimprint lithography
- Prepare the chip for the bioanalytical, biomechanical and nanofluidic measurements in question
- Make the relevant measurements on the chip
- Evaluate and analyse the experimental results
- Present the results and write a journal manuscript based on the experimental results
General information
The summer school includes 3 scheduled course weeks at DTU Nanotech (August 10-28). The prize is 420 Euro and includes lunches, coffee breaks, and social events. Accommodations are not included in the prize. You earn 5 ECTS points
The summer school is an annual event from 2012-2015 and part of the PolyNano project. PolyNano is funded by the Danish Council for Strategic Research and runs for 5½ years from 2011-2016. www.polynano.org
In 2014, the summer school was co-organized by COST MP1205 and in 2015, we expect the summer school to be co-organized by both COST MP1205 and Cell-O-Matic.
Co-organizers each contribute with the organization of an additional experimental track.
