Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering

Catalog description

Main topics include: cellular biomechanics with an emphasis on the cardiovascular system, molecular bioengineering, biotransport phenomena, and tissue engineering with focus on artificial internal organs. Cellular biomechanics topics covered are biomechanics of the endothelium, endothelial-immune cell interactions, and blood cell structural biomechanics. Topics in molecular bioengineering include chemotaxis and chemokinesis, and modeling of receptor-mediated endocytosis. Biotransport and tissue engineering topics include bioreactor design and the analysis and development of artificial internal organs like the liver and pancreas.
