Learning Outcome
After attending the course the students are able to
• apply the basic concepts and figures of merit in the field of in vitro diagnostics correctly,
• characterise the most important analytical (i.e. physical, chemical and biological) principles of in vitro diagnostics (both established and in a stage of research and development),
• interpret and evaluate the obtained data with regard to their statistical power, precision and medical information,
• analyse, evaluate and present given case studies and approaches for in vitro diagnostic solutions from current published research

Learning and Teaching Methods
The module is composed of a lecture (2 SWS) and an exercise (1 SWS).
The contents of the lecture will be communicated by talks. In the exercise students are encouraged to a self-reliant examination of scientific literature and to an immersion into selected topics of the field. The appropriate teaching format is individual and group work, case studies and presentation.

Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
In a written 60 min exam the students prove by solving tasks and answering questions, that they are able to correctly interpret the relationship between differentiated pathological health conditions and diagnostic parameters and data and to structure and analyse the construction principles and development processes of diagnostic analytics. In the exam no auxiliary means are allowed.
In the exercise the students prove their ability to analyse and discuss selected, published methods and results to problems of in vitro diagnostics. This learning achievement will be demonstrated by a presentation about a case study or scientific paper examined in homework.
The final grading is composed of the following elements:
80% written exam / 20% presentation
