Course Summaries
Biomaterials (Bioe 410) |
|---|
This course will introduce design principles for biomaterials, including considerations for protein and cell delivery, cell-instructive biomaterials, drug delivery systems, material-tissue interactions (e.g. host immune response), and material characterization. This course will mainly focus on polymeric biomaterials. A special emphasis will be placed on chemical modifications to tune material degradation, cross-linking, protein release, cell-material interactions, and stimuli-responsiveness. Prerequisites: general chemistry, organic chemistry, general biology – Instructor approval required. |
