The purpose of the course is to introduce, primarily to graduate students in the health sciences, an impressive array of powerful and sophisticated tools for gathering qualitative and quantitative analytical information in biomedical laboratories. Particular emphasis is placed on spectroscopic, electrochemical and chromatographic methods of analysis, which constitute the majority of the techniques used. Postgraduate students, upon completion of the thematic units, will acquire demonstrated knowledge and understanding, which will build upon and extend and/or enhance knowledge acquired at undergraduate level. They will have acquired a comprehensive understanding of almost all modern methods of instrumental biomedical analysis, which will form the background for the development and successful implementation of ideas, often in the context of research activity. Τhey will be aware of the trends of modern diagnostic technology in biomedical laboratories and will develop the ability to update their knowledge. They will be also able to clearly and concisely communicate their conclusions, as well as the knowledge and reasoning on which they are based. They will have the necessary learning skills, which allow them to continue their studies, in a largely self-reliant and/or autonomous manner.
