Learning outcomes

After this course the students are expected to:

• be well informed about and be able to describe in detail the latest development in the field of ultrasensitive fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging, both in terms of technique development and with respect to how the techniques are applied to biomolecular studies.
• be able to critically evaluate the performance of these fluorescence methods for biomoleuclar studies, in comparison to other spectroscopic techniques.
• be able both in written and orally to communicate recent research results, both their own results and the results of others, to both specialized and general audiences.

Course main content

Active participation in research seminars, workshops and conferences. Individual literature studies. Oral seminar presentations by the students summarizing and discussing the content of the above.
