Training researchers of the future
Students in Advanced Micro- and Nano-biotechnology, a fourth-year course in Biomedical Engineering, are working on a real problem posed by professors Maite Mujika and Sergio Arana. The students spent the term detecting infections caused by bacterial strains, working through the lens of micro- and nano-technology. To do this, the students-turned-researchers had to find the scientific articles most closely related to the problem under study and then design their own microsensor, which they built in a clean room and tested in the labs at Tecnun-CEIT. The students worked with samples of the bacterial strain Staphylococcus spidermidis, which they grew on the microsensors they had built using silicon technology. At the end of the course, the different groups participated in a workshop where they had to present the results of their work and what they learned, either as a poster or an oral presentation. Some of the projects will be also be presented at CASEIB, the annual meeting of the Spanish Society for Biomedical Engineering, which will take place in San Sebastian on 19-21 November.From:CeitTVViews:0 0ratingsTime:02:59More inScience Technology
