Advanced Tissue Engineering

Catalog description

This course deals with specific elements of tissue engineering design and analysis. Approaches to the regeneration of three tissue systems will be analyzed utilizing engineering design. Concepts ranging from tissue development and dynamic growth conditions to ultimate tissue properties will be addressed. Students will be required to acquire understanding and expertise from analysis of primary literature and will complete group presentations on directed approaches to tissue design and engineering in three tissue systems. To ensure in-depth understanding of different aspects of tissue engineering the groups will be required to focus on one or two key aspects in each mini design module.
