Lectures, hands on micro and nanofabrication and bioanalytical
measurements during project work, discussions in groups and in
plenum. You are expected to take active part in lectures, and
project work. You are required to present your own field of
research as well as the results from your project work in the form
of presentation and journal article writing,
respectively.

Overordnede kursusmål:
The aim of the PolyNano summer school is to provide you with hands
on training in industrially relevant techniques to transfer
“academic” lab-on-chip systems closer to the market. You will get
insights into how to think if you want to carry your scientific
idea into a commercially viable solution. Furthermore, the PolyNano
summer school will present you with tools for handling the
challenges of communication between different scientific
disciplines in true cross-disciplinary research.
Læringsmål:
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
Describe and understand the needs for industrially relevant
fabrication of polymer Lab-on-Chip systems from an industrial point
of
Construct a polymer chip using injection molding and/or
nanoimprint lithography
Modify the chip for bioanalytical measurements
Make relevant bioanalytical measurements on the chip
Evaluate and analyze the bioanalytical results from the
chip
Present the results and write a journal-like paper based on the
experimental results

Kursusindhold:
In biotechnology research, the current trend goes toward using
miniaturized and automated tools for screening and diagnostics,
which calls for lab-on-chip solutions.
The current problem is that there are no common standards for
lab-on-chip production, which leads to longer development times and
higher costs. To harvest the great potential of lab-on-chip
technology, a supply of reproducible biochips is required as well
as a clear roadmap for commercial exploitation of lab-on-chip
devices.
Further development of polymer mass fabrication techniques are
needed that enable patterning of polymer components on the micro-
and nanoscale at low-cost and high-volumes. This may also provide a
competitive edge through lower costs and increasingly
environmentally friendly products.
The PolyNano summer school will combine academic and industrial
lectures with interactive workshops as well as hands-on polymer
lab-on-chip fabrication, interfacing, modification and
bioanalytical application.
The experimental work will primarily consist of teamwork where you
will have the opportunity to:
1. Fabricate a polymer lab-on-chip device using injection molding
and/or nanoimprint lithography (NIL) in our state of the art clean
room facilities
2. Modify the fabricated lab-on-chip with suitable reagents
3. Apply the lab-on-chip in a relevant bioanalytical setting
setting
4. Be trained in how to write a journal-like paper based on the
results of the work you have performed during the school.
During the course you will also have the opportunity to meet and
connect with different companies. For example you can discuss
possible ideas for testing or learn more about the industrial side
of things.
Mulighed for GRØN DYST deltagelse:
Kontakt underviseren for information om hvorvidt dette kursus giver
den studerende mulighed for at lave eller forberede et projekt som
kan deltage i DTUs studenterkonference om bæredygtighed,
klimateknologi og miljø (GRØN DYST). Se mere på http://www.groendyst.dtu.dk
