Cellular and Tissue Engineering

Cell and tissue engineering (CTE) is an interdisciplinary field that requires students to master multiple subjects ranging from materials science to stem cell engineering. There are standard classes that all CTE students should take, including Biomaterials I and II and both the cell and tissue engineering courses. When selecting your CTE courses beyond these platform classes, the following specialization areas may provide guidance. While designed only to serve as a guide, the areas of specialization represent important subfields within CTE where cutting edge research is taking place. BIOMATERIALS AREA SPECIALIZATION. This area of specialization is for students who plan to build a strong foundation on biomaterials design, synthesis, processing and characterization, as well as understanding in materials-host interactions. Students can select a set of upper electives from the list that covers a variety of topics ranging from biomaterials synthesis and characterization, to biocompatibility of materials, and to various applications of biomaterials. 510.316 Biomaterials I (3) 510.407 Biomaterials II (3) 510.430 Biomaterials Lab (3) 510.431 Biocompatibility of Materials (3) 580.440 Cellular Engineering (3) 580.442 Tissue Engineering (3) 510.606 Chemical and Biological Properties of Materials (3) 510.617 Advanced Topics in Biomaterials (3) 500.619 Fundamentals of Physics and Chemistry in Nanomaterials (3) 540.404 Therapeutic and Diagnostic Colloids (3) 510.311 Structure of Materials (3) 510.313 Mechanical Properties of Materials (3) 510.314 Electronic Properties of Materials (3) 510.315 Kinetics and Phase Transformations of Materials (3) 510.403 Materials Characterization (3) 510.415 Chemistry of Materials Synthesis (3) 510.426 Biomolecular Materials (3) 510.443 Chemistry and Physics of Polymers (3) 540.427 Introduction to Polymer Science (3) 580.495 Microfabrication Laboratory (4) CELL ENGINEERING AREA SPECIALIZATION. This area of specialization is for students who wish to incorporate a strong foundation of cell level and smaller scale (e.g., biochemical and molecular) knowledge into the systems and organism-level knowledge gained from other parts of the BME undergraduate curriculum. To pursue this option, students can select electives that primarily focus on the biochemistry of molecules found within a cell or molecular scale phenomenon (e.g., kinetic processes or transport phenomenon courses). Another cell-based option is to focus on stem cells and complementary coursework (e.g., developmental biology). 530.410 Biomechanics: Cells and Organisms (3) 540.301 Kinetic Processes (4) 540.303 Transport Phenomena I (4) 540.304 Transport Phenomena II (4) 540.402 Cellular and Molecular Biotechnology of Mammalian Systems (3) 540.412 Hydration in Molecular Biophysics (3) 540.426 Introduction to Biomacromolecules (4) 540.460 Computational and Experimental Design of Biomolecules (3) Last Edited 6 January 2011

GENERAL TISSUE ENGINEERING AND STEM CELLS. This is a specialization area that focuses on building tissues and includes an emphasis on stem cells as the major building block of tissues. Students can select from a number of courses related to cell and tissue organization and cell biology in addition to the platform biomaterials courses. 580.440 Cellular Engineering (3) 580.442 Tissue Engineering (3) 580.451/2 Cellular and Tissue Engineering Laboratory (2) 510.316 Biomaterials I (3) 510.407 Biomaterials II (3) 540.402 Cellular and Molecular Biotechnology of Mammalian Systems (3) 540.459 Biotech in Regenerative Medicine (3)

NANOBIOTECHNOLOGY AREA SPECIALIZATION. This area of specialization is for students who are interested in complementing the fundamental scientific knowledge obtained in the standard BME undergraduate curriculum with a focus on the technological aspects of cell and tissue engineering, with particular emphasis on the nanoscale. Students can select from a variety of upper level courses that cover the design, fabrication, and characterization of particles, surfaces, devices, and delivery systems and how they interact with biological systems. Topics include designing nanomaterials (including those used as growth substrates or those intended as drug delivery vehicles) to interact with cells, using cells for regenerative medicine applications, and manipulating various sub-cellular components and classes of biomacromolecules. 500.619 Fundamentals of Physics and Chemistry in Nanomaterials (3) 510.415 Chemistry of Materials Synthesis (3) 510.316 Biomaterials I (3) Last Edited 6 January 2011
