BME 448
Functional Tissue Engineering
Section: 001

Course Description

This course focuses on the design of tissue engineered replacements which attempt to mimic the underlying structural and functional properties of the original tissue. Overall course objectives are to 1) provide students with the knowledge to understand the functional requirements of native tissues and topics related to functional tissue engineering, and 2) prepare students to design new engineered tissues that can meet physiological demands. Topics include: design of native tissues and replacements from an engineering perspective; tissue composition, structure, and function; modeling of native and engineered tissues; methods to enhance tissue engineered replacements; and regenerative engineering.
