Outline:

(A) basic Chemistry and Bio for Physics background students
Class hour: Tuesday 09:40-12:30, Dr. Tung, Yi-Chung 董奕鍾
Place: P101 @ IoP

This course contains basic biology, chemistry, and biophysics knowledge necessary for the understanding of current applications of nanotechnology to biological and chemical analysis. It is so designed as to lay a foundation for the students whose majors are Physics or Engineering but interested in pursuing research in nanobiotechnology.
