MEE 556 - Introduction to Tissue Engineering

Tissue engineering is a complex field of study that merges basic biological sciences (molecular, cellular, and tissue biology and physiology) with engineering fundamentals (transport phenomena, materials science, chemical kinetics) and biotechnology tools (cell culture, gene transfer, genomic analysis). This course is intended to organize this long list of specialized knowledge in order to provide both undergraduate and graduate students with a clear and succinct introduction to the processes and issues involved in creating engineered tissues.
