Prerequisites: BME 302 and MATH 222 and (BME 303 or R120 201 and R120 202 or BIOL 201 and BIOL 202), and (MTSE 301 or MTEN 201). This course is an introduction to the field of tissue engineering as a therapeutic approach to treating damaged or diseased tissues in the biotechnology industry. In essence, new and functional living tissue can be fabricated by delivering cells, scaffolds, DNA, proteins, and/or protein fragments at surgery. This course will cover the advances in the fields of cell biology, molecular biology, material science and their relationship towards developing novel "tissue engineered" therapies.
