Biomaterials

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course focuses on the fundamental principle of biomaterials, the interaction of biomaterials with the biological system, and applications of biomaterials. Topics include molecular principles of biomaterials, cell-biomaterials interaction, host reaction to biomaterials, biomaterials for tissue engineering applications, and biomaterials for controlled drug delivery. Historic and nascent advances in biomaterials are critically and independently evaluated by the class using published reports in the literature. Clinical, business, and regulatory perspectives of biomaterials will be discussed using case studies and group projects.
