Tissue Microenvironments
Explore varying native and bio-fabricated tissue microenvironments and hands-on opportunities for fabrication and bioprinting of tissues on a chip. Examine characterization of mechanical, thermal, transport, and cellular tissue response to microenvironments; imaging and computational approaches that enable prediction of cell and tissue behavior within physiological and pathological native or bio-fabricated tissues; and clinical perspectives which drive design of physiologically representative tissues on a chip and their use for diagnostic screening and therapeutic planning. Only one of the following may be counted: Biomedical Engineering 384T (Topic 5), 385J (Topic: Tiss Microenv: Fab/Tran/Mech), Mechanical Engineering 397 (Topic: Tiss Microenv: Fab/Tran/Mech), 397M (Topic: Tiss Microenv: Fab/Tran/Mech).
