Biological nanostructures and biomimetics

Summary

Student will get acquainted within the subject with biomolecules involved in sigle types of biological nanostructures, their properties and functions in living organisms and subsequently with practical applications where these nanostructures are utilized. Students will get an overview about engineering solutions inspired by nature and they will get awarness about the field of biomimetics.
