Program Overview

Program Overview

The Surface Functionalization program, also known as BIOMED S9 UGA, is a course offered at the University of Grenoble Alpes. This program focuses on the applications of surface functionalization, covering large fields such as the conception of biosensors and photocatalysis/electrocatalysis.


Objectives

The aim of this course is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of surface functionalization, with a particular emphasis on two challenging applications: biosensors and photocatalysis/electrocatalysis. The course is structured into two modules, each focusing on a specific type of application.


Course Content

The program consists of two main modules:


  1. Surface functionalization for the fabrication of biosensors (12 hours)
  • Applications of functionalization and electrofunctionalization
  • Electronic tongues and noses
  • Cell chips
  • Biomolecular assemblies and self-organization of biomolecules on surfaces
  1. Electrocatalysis applications (13 hours)
  • Introduction to photo(electro)catalysis
  • Molecular engineering of nanomaterials for (bio)electrocatalysis in energy-related systems
  • Surface functionalization for photo(electro)catalysis: from photovoltaics to solar water splitting and CO2 conversion
  • Micro
    anostructure in electrocatalysis

Teachers and Experts

The course is taught by a series of experts in the field, including:


  • Aurťlie Spinelli
  • Yanxia Hou-Broutin
  • Yoann Roupioz
  • Pierre-Henri Elchinger
  • Didier Gasparutto
  • Dmitry Aldakov
  • Pascale Chenevier
  • Alan Legoff
  • Bertrand Reuillard

Prerequisites

The prerequisites for this course include basics in chemistry.


Assessment and Evaluation

The course assessment consists of:


  • A written exam (50% of the final grade)
  • Continuous assessment (50% of the final grade) The exam is organized by the UGA Phitem, and the evaluation methods include a written exam and continuous assessment.

Additional Information

  • The course is worth 2.0 ECTS for students in the UE Broadening courses nanomedicine1.
  • The course is taught in English.
  • The program is part of the Cursus ingťnieur, Double-DiplŰmes Ingťnieur/Master, and Semestre 9.
  • The course is also part of the Cursus ingťnieur, FiliŤre BIOMED, and Semestre 9.
  • The program is updated as of August 21, 2025.
