Laboratory research rotations are to allow students to become familiar with different areas of research, learn new experimental techniques, obtain experiences in unique research laboratories, and ultimately to identify a lab in which to conduct dissertation research. Rotation projects should involve independent research and be a piece of work that could lead to a presentation at a scientific meeting or become part of a peer-reviewed publication. (BIO THERAP) |

A central role for many tissues is to support physical forces (tension, compression, shear, pressure). This course will introduce the mechanisms by which cells respond to load; how these mechanisms are relevant to normal function & disease etiology; progression; prevention & treatment; an overview of tissue mechanics (relationships between force, stress/strain), mechanisms of cell/matrix interactions, examples of tissue modeling & remodeling in response to physical stimuli.

Mechanism based, computational methods for modeling & simulating living systems (cells, tissues, etc.) and their use in new therapeutic development will be contrasted with established methods. Given a problem or objective, students will learn to identify model uses, develop specifications, and then select implementations enabling developing, constructing, validating, and iteratively revising multi-attribute, hierarchical, biomimetic analogues of pharmacologically responsive biological systems.

The objective of this course is to introduce students to the broad range of bioengineering research that is associated with biological applications. Students will be exposed to problems in cellular and molecular engineering, tissue engineering and modeling neural and complex systems. Each 2-hour session will involve presentation from an invited faculty member of a specific area of research, followed by a discussion of the role of bioengineering techniques in addressing problems in that field.
