BMEN 5313 - Bioengineering of Cellular Systems

3 hours

Cell-based technologies are emerging to support biomedical applications. By modifying DNA, RNA, proteins, and other biological components, bioengineers have created new cellular behaviors that can be harnessed for disease preventions, diagnostics, and treatments. To continue exploring the use of cell-based approaches for solving biomedical problems, bioengineers are required to gain a molecular understanding on cellular systems. Students learn about how biological pathways have been targeted for engineering new cellular functions, including transcription, translation, post-translational modification, and regulatory mechanisms for controlling these processes. Additionally, course discusses a range of examples on using engineered cells as medical tools for therapies and diagnostics.
