Objectives of the Course
|
The aim of this course is to provide students with fundamental knowledge of tissue engineering and biomaterials, to teach cell-biomaterial interactions, and to explore regenerative approaches related to clinical applications from both engineering and molecular biology perspectives.
|
Course Content
|
The course introduces students to the fundamentals of tissue Engineering and biomaterials. It also covers cells and growth factors used in tissue Engineering, extracellular matrix, synthetic and natural polymers as support materials. The cell/biomaterial interaction will also be studied while taking into consideration the application of engineering principles combined with molecular cell biology. Throughout the course, specific applications including skin, nerve, bone, and soft tissue regeneration and links between the topic of study and clinically relevant situations are addressed.
|
Course Methods and Techniques
|
The course will be conducted through lectures, visual presentations, literature review, article evaluation, group discussions, problem-based learning, and project-based applications. Students will also have the opportunity to reinforce their theoretical knowledge through case analyses.
