Tissue engineering includes biology, chemistry, material science, engineering, immunology and transplantation. Tissue Engineering course provides a general understanding of tissue growth and development, the tools and theoretical information needed to design tissues and organs.
Although life of thousands of people is saved by reconstructive surgeons many people are still waiting organ donation. Reconstructive surgery became in last decade new discipline -tissue engineering with the focus on the fabrication of living replacement part for the body in the laboratory.
Tissue engineering includes biology, chemistry, material science, engineering, immunology and transplantation. Tissue Engineering course provides a general understanding of tissue growth and development, the tools and theoretical information needed to design tissues and organs.
The following topics will be covered:
- Introduction
- Cell biology, the basis of growth and differentiation
- Growth factors
- In vitro control of tissue development
- Polymer Scaffolds
- Cell-polymer interactions
- Bioreactors
