The course will take place in the week 14-18 of June 2020. Registration should be closed on the 14th of May (one month before the start of the course). Remark: former title until FS20: Microfluidics for Microbial Ecology. The 2021 edition of the course will be virtual. The lab activities will be replaced by guided group activity sessions, where experiments will be run virtually and data analyzed.
The course teaches the basics of microfluidic technology and sample a range of applications in microbiology and chemistry, all through hands-on experience and live demos.
