BME 530 Contemporary Subjects in Tissue Engineering
Course Objective: To be familiar with the most recent advancements in principles, methods and applications of tissue engineering including scaffolding, cell selection and utilization as well as their interaction.
Instructor: Cevat Eriţken, Ph.D., Department of Biomedical Engineering, Office 175/5, Tel 0(312)-292-4083, cerisken@etu.edu.tr, http://cerisken.etu.edu.tr
Course Material: The course requires intensive literature review. Course materials will include the recent publications to be selected by the students based on their areas of interest or to be suggested by the instructor. For a guideline for the basics, refer to: Principles of Tissue Engineering, 4th Ed., 2013, Edited by R.Lanza
Course Description: This course is designed to cover the most recent advancements in different areas of applications of tissue engineering. The topics in this course will include tissue engineering strategies such as i) compositional, structural and functional analysis of different tissues in human body, ii) design, fabrication and utilization of scaffold biomaterials and iii) cellular engineering including cell therapy, drug delivery; as well as cell-biomaterial interactions. Recent advances and major problems relevant to tissue engineering will also be presented and discussed.
Instructor will present relevant topics in the class and guide students when needed. The students should appear in the class as they will be presenting/discussing topics with their classmates. Each student will choose an area of application and advance her/his knowledge in the particular area of tissue engineering. The areas could be selected from the list provided below or independently depending on student’s area of interest.
- Bone tissue engineering - Cartilage Tissue Engineering - Tendon tissue engineering - Ligament Tissue Engineering - Dental Tissue Engineering - Skin Tissue Engineering - Cartilage-Bone Interface Tissue Engineering - Ligament-Bone Interface Tissue Engineering - Tendon-Bone Interface Tissue Engineering
