What it is about

You will learn technological fundamentals and applications of medical diagnostics with a focus on in vitro. The content covers the structure, analytical principles and clinical classification of diagnostic procedures as well as regulatory framework conditions. In the end you will be able to quantitatively evaluate diagnostic data and biomarkers and assess requirements for new, clinically implementable methods.

What you will be able to do

Understand analytical principles and technological implementation of medical diagnostics
Understand regulatory framework conditions for diagnostic medical products at a fundamental level
Analyze the clinical relevance of diagnostic data and biomarkers with quantitative quality criteria
Evaluate demands on new methods and workflows to improve medical diagnostics

What the module consists of

Vorlesung (2 SWS)Delivery of content in lectures; discussion and questions with instructors are encouraged
