Course Objectives: | Tissue Engineering is an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering and life sciences toward the development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue function or a whole. This introductory course aims to address the most important and fundamental topics - biological as well as engineering - of contemporary tissue engineering research. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Provide students with a foundation for engineering tissues based on Nature's own design and optimization criteria. 2. Stimulate the students' ability to critically review recent published work in the field 3. Provide students with the necessary background and vocabulary to communicate with biomedical experts and clinicians. |
