BMEN 4314 - Tissue Engineering

3 hours

Tissue engineering provides new therapies for patients with severe injuries or chronic diseases. The successful development of tissue engineered replacements depends on complementary advances in biomedicine, cell biology, material science, and engineering. Comprehensive course designed for senior level study. Covers the fundamental concepts, multidisciplinary approaches, and clinical applications of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Students gain the fundamental understandings of structure-function relationship in normal and pathological mammalian tissues. Principles of tissue engineering; biological mechanisms; experimental, analytical and computational approaches; animal models, as well as their respective clinical applications are integrated to address problems in current tissue regeneration field.

Prerequisite(s): BMEN 3321 and senior classification.
