Course/Module description:
Tissue Engineering is a rapidly expanding field of applied biology and biomedical engineering that aims to create artificial organs for transplantation, basic research, or drug development. A fascinating aspect of the field is the fundamental need to integrate knowledge of organic chemistry, cell biology, genetics, mechanics and transport processes to create functional organs. The process uncovers the fascinating complexity of living tissues, and the joy of creation.
Course/Module aims:
This course will review basic cell culture techniques, structure function relationships, cellular communication, natural and artificial biomaterials, and the basic equations governing cell survival and tissue organization.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
This course is composed of frontal lectures and is divided into two segments. Class 1 to 5 teach the basic principles of tissue engineering, while Classes 6 to 10 provide practical examples from multiple systems.
