ENGINEERING THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

Credit Hours: 3 · Graduate

This course will introduce students to engineering approaches to understand development, function, and therapeutic approaches for the central nervous system. Content will be organized into three modules including neural development, neural tissue engineering approaches, and multi-omic computational strategies. Each module will discuss how concepts relate to other tissue system and provide context on neural disease. Instruction will be delivered through a mixture of lecture, journal club discussion, seminars from experts in each area, and hands-on instruction. Recommended Prerequisite(s): BIOE 370 or BIOE 517
