BMEN 5314 - Advanced Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

3 hours

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine provide 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 graduate 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, regenerative medicines, 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): Graduate standing.
