Learning outcomes

This class aims at providing the fundamental knowledge for the design, implementation, development, management, and maintenance of hardware and software systems in biotechnological labs, both for research and production, as well as clinical labs. Starting from actual case studies, the main related topics are highlighted; then, each of them is addressed in detail from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Finally, presentations with external speakers allow to meet companies and institutions which use this knowledge.

Examination Methods

The examination consists of:

1) written test with questions about the theory and practice part of the class
2) project
- Bibliographic research (max 2 points, max 2 people)
- Experimental activity (max 3 points, max 3 people)

Students from Computer Science Degree cannot use this class as "crediti D".

Updated list of titles on the teacher's web page.

For the project, synergies are possibles with other classes, stage and thesis.

The final result (over 30 points) is computed by summing the result of both the written test and the project.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
