Browse Hierarchy ICM7243: Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering

This module will provide training in the fundamental principles of biomaterial science and therapeutic applications in tissue engineering. It will cover the key types, properties, synthesis, and testing of biomaterials, as well as how the structure and function of materials impact complex cellular responses and tissue regeneration. The module will present current methods in fabrication of biomaterials into scaffolds for tissue engineering, strategies for cultivation living tissue equivalents, and critical analysis of specific applications in regenerative medicine. Throughout the module students will develop skills in critical thinking, experimental design, oral and written communication, and collaborative work.
