Principles of Cell & Multicellular Engineering

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This class explores principles relevant to engineering biological function across scales—from programming genetic circuits within single cells to orchestrating multicellular self-organization. Lectures cover principles of quantitative cell and developmental biology and the tools of synthetic cell biology and tissue engineering. Through analysis of literature and interactive presentations, students will examine principles of morphogenesis, stem cell engineering, and synthetic biology to design regenerative therapies and complex tissue constructs.
