EBME 350. Quantitative Molecular Bioengineering
Description
The objective of this course is to equip the students
with a "molecular toolbox", a set of quantitative
skills that permit rational designs for engineering
tissues starting at the molecular level. The course
will build on the physical and chemical principles
in equilibrium, kinetics, and mass transport. Specific
examples in bioengineering systems will be used throughout
the course to illustrate the importance of understanding
and application of these principles to tissue engineering
of skin and cartilage.

Course Goals
This course presents real-life contemporary biomedical
problems in organ and tissue failure and illustrates
the need of tissue engineering as possible solutions.
The course aims to enhance the students´ learning
experience in translating clinical problems (e.g.
organ failure) into solvable engineering problems.
The engineering solution includes development of
material scaffolds, controlled release of biological
factors, and molecular transports in cellular systems.
The course aims to equip the students a set of fundamental
molecular principles (thermodynamics, kinetics, and
molecular transport) as "tool box" for problem solving.
