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.
