Fall 2022

BME 405/405L    Cell and Tissue Engineering/Lab: This course will introduce students to the basic concept of Cell and Tissue Engineering. Cellular engineering focuses on cell based therapies, while tissue engineering and regenerative medicine seek to repair tissue damages by engineering strategies. Concepts will include applied cell and tissue engineering in stem cell and cell therapy, gene therapy, biomaterials, and drug delivery.

BME 335L    Biomedical Technologies Laboratory: Ability to conduct a biomedical experiment and analyze its results in a reproducible way is often the most essential pillar of science. Living units such as cells and bacteria often pose reproducibility challanges in experiments and biological materials such as proteins and nucleic acis are prone to degradation under certain conditions. On the other hand, during the scientific process, designing a study, conducting necessary and sufficient experiments, choosing correct analysis methods and operating analytical methods thoughtfully, maintaining a laboratory notebook, presenting the data using correct statistical analysis and finally synthesizing a report requires a cohesive set of behaviors. This course aims to guide you through the process one should follow to conduct biomedical experiments. You will learn culturing mammalian cells and transform bacteria and further learn fundamental molecular biological techniques and quantitative microscopy to assess biological materials. It is expected that students establish a robust record-keeping practice in this laboratory. 

 

BME 306      Biomedical Engineering Thermodynamics: Principles of Thermodynamics and kinetics from a bioengineering perspective. The mathematics, analysis, and applications of classical thermodynamics, gibbs free energy, binding equilibria and reaction kinetics will be introduced in the context of molecular interactions, binding phenomena, metabolism, and biomolecular transport common to living systems.
