Objectives of the Course	In this course, the bio-sensing and biosensors with their application methods and fields will be reviewed.
Course Content	In the first part of the course, receptors and analytes in biosensors: receptor immobilization, specificity, binding constants, kinetics, diffusion will be focused on. This is followed by electrochemical and optical sensors/transducers, optical methods: fluorescence, luminescence, fiber optics, applications of the mass sensitive sensors. The scope of this course includes diagnostics and other biosensor applications based on sensitivity, selectivity and stability characteristics.
Course Methods and Techniques	The course is taught with a student-centered approach. The course includes in-class activities, group work, assignments, mini projects. Various interactive methods such as discussions, peer interaction and hands-on activities will be used.
