Advanced Biophysics: Fundamentals of Biomaterials

Catalog description

This course is aimed at applying material physics and technology to regulate and support biological systems and functions. A goal of the course is to fundamentally understand the physics aspects of variable biomaterials and their interactions with biological systems (cells, tissues, organs). A second goal is to use material physics and technology as a tool to design and fabricate biomaterials for artificial tissues and organs, or biophysical devices and sensors. Finally, students will learn and understand public healthcare policies, needs, and resources.
