Education by BioNanoTechnology
BioNanoTechnology is involved in several BSc & MSc courses open for students from Molecular Life Sciences, BioTechnology, Biology, Environmental Sciences, Plant Sciences. It also hosts 2 minors: Bio-Inorganic Chemistry and BioNanoTechnology Minor.
Publications & Projects
Research interests of the BioNT group range from dynamic supramolecular chemistry in solution and on surfaces, to biomedical use of nanomaterials and microfluidic technologies. Applications are the development of for example multimodal diagnostic and theragnostic agents, and the fabrication of microfluidic sensing systems based on optical/fluorescence and NMR spectroscopy.
