Description

The course will introduce principles of cell biology and design underlying cell and tissue engineering decision-making. Students will learn how mechanical and chemical aspects of the extracellular environment influence cell functions including viability, proliferation, differentiation, and protein expression, and how those aspects may be integrated and/or manipulated in vitro and in vivo using various material and chemical approaches. Additionally, students will be introduced to contemporary techniques used to assess engineered tissue response and integration via immunocyto-/histo-chemistry, secretomics, imaging, immunoassays, and sequencing modalities.

Prerequisites

BIOL.2100 Biology for Engineers, or BIOL.1110 Principles of Biology I, and CHEM.2210 Organic Chemistry I.
