BME 4190

Laboratory Techniques for Molecular, Cellular, and Systems Engineering

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2017-2018.

This class will provide students with the skills needed for the design, fabrication, and characterization of experimental approaches relevant to Molecular, Cellular, and Systems engineering. Lectures will integrate three modules: the first module will focus on stem cell biology, differentiation, and characterization. The second module will provide a thorough understanding of polymeric scaffold design and characterization for tissue engineering applications. The third module will focus on analytic techniques suitable to analyze molecular, cellular, and systems-level signaling changes of cells in response to varied microenvironmental context. All three modules will be taught in a manner that will enable students to design and implement experimental approaches for cell manufacturing, tissue regeneration, and drug testing.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: BME 3010; BME 3020; and BME 3110 or BME 3210.

Satisfies Requirement Course serves as the MCSE Concentration Practicum Laboratory. BMDD students may also use this course to serve as their practicum lab.
