BE 422—Cell Engineering

Cell-related phenomena important to tissue engineering and medicine: Cell-surface and cell-cell interactions; chemical/mechanical effects on cell function; cell/tissue engineering applications for better understanding, prevention, and treatment of human diseases. The course will satisfy the breadth and depth requirements in the Molecular/Cell/Tissue Engineering area of the BE Department, and will serve as a technical elective for students in Biomedical Engineering. It will be useful to those of our students who (a) are seeking employment in biotech industries, (b) pursue graduate studies in biomedical engineering and/or sciences, or (c) apply to medical school, because it will increase their level of understanding of current research efforts in cell and tissue engineering.
