BME 482:Engineering Physiology
Introduction to mammalian physiology from an engineering point of view. The quantitative aspects of normal cellular and organ functions and the regulatory processes required to maintain organ viability and homeostasis will be discussed. Topics include: Neuro, muscle, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal and endocrine physiology. |

BME 601:Advanced Biomedical Engineering Lab
One of the distinguishing features of biomedical engineers is the ability to make and interpret measurements on living systems. One of the major objectives of advanced laboratory training is to provide experience in selecting appropriate measurement and analysis tools that will advance hypothesis driven and translational research and development. This laboratory course serves these dual purposes. Students are introduced to techniques for measurements at the cellular, organ and systems levels. Students will then use these techniques to: (1) formulate hypotheses, design experiments using the tools provided, make appropriate measurements, analyze the data and determine if the data do or do not support their hypotheses and (2) make measurements that facilitate the design and manufacture of devices in terms of materials properties, fatigue and failure modes. |

BME 655:Principles of Multiscale Biosystems Development and Integration
This course extends concepts presented in tissue engineering, bio-transport, and biomaterials to develop design principles for generating tissue and organs in vitro. The processes by which cells, proteins, and extracellular matrix are integrated to form a functioning organ system are developed. The principles of bioreactor design are used to analyze and design in vitro systems for growing functioning tissue and organs for use as prostheses. Principles for scale-up to organs of different size are discussed. Design issues and limitations for extension of these principles to multi-organ systems are illustrated. |
