EB 3810 - Tissue Engineering

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course covers the up-to-date fields of tissue and regenerative engineering, including scaffold design and fabrication, microfabrication technology in tissue engineering, product and process design, and clinical translation of engineered tissues/organs. Topics range from stem cells and embryogenesis, scaffold design and fabrication, organ-on-chips, bioreactors, vascularization, bioprinting, skin tissue engineering, bone/cartilage tissue engineering, cardiovascular tissue engineering, neural tissue engineering, tissue-engineered product manufacturing to clinical translation and ethical issues in tissue and regenerative engineering. (prereq: EB 2250  or equivalent)
