About This Course
Biosensors with Quantum Dots and Fluorescent Probes teaches how light-emitting nanomaterials enable exquisitely sensitive detection. You learn the photophysics that makes quantum dots and fluorescent probes so powerful — brightness, tunable emission and photostability — and how they are conjugated to biological recognition elements to sense specific targets. The course covers the main sensing mechanisms, including FRET-based assays, and applications across medical diagnostics, bioimaging and environmental detection. Connecting nanomaterials to real assays, it shows how these probes achieve their sensitivity. You finish able to reason about designing a fluorescent biosensor. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
