Course Description:

This course is designed to guide students for the utilization of biomaterials in the field of biomedical engineering, with emphasis on understanding their synthesis, characterization and application. This course will cover some of the widely used biomaterials in regenerative/biomedical engineering. The students will pick up a biomaterial of their interest, and they will search for the methods of synthesis of the material, its processing to form a scaffold, implant, etc., characterization and application in biomedical engineering. They are expected to present their findings as well as to contribute to discussions in the classroom.
