>> Education >> Mini-Courses and Textbooks
Objective: One of our group’s effort is to develop several web-based online courses on biomaterials, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine as a free and open resource of education for educators, students, and self-learners worldwide. We are planning to accomplish at least two online courses before 2010.
!!!NEW!!! From May. 1st, 2008, the online courses will be available at:. http://www.musc.edu/bioengineering/courses/
Online Mini-Course # 1 Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (Under development) (All contents are password protected during the trial period, please email Dr. Wen to obtain a trial password for these documents.)
Table of Contents: 1) Concept and principle series - The fundamental concepts and principles in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine will be described. Courses in this series will include: fundamental principles of tissue engineering, such as biocompatible materials, scaffolds design and fabrication, bioactive molecules and their delivery, and bioreactors; stem cells and regenerative medicine. Some videos related to material synthesis, scaffold fabrication, bioreactor development, etc. will be included in this website to help learner understand the concept and key processes.

2) Application series - The minicourses in this series deal with specific topics on the applications of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine principles in addressing life science questions. Emphasis will be placed on the potential of an engineering approach, which involves the application of knowledge in physical, biological sciences, and mathematics, to tackle the problems in biology and clinical science. The materials will be largely derived from the research efforts in on-campus labs at Clemson and MUSC and those presented in the current literatures. Topics may include: customizing biomaterials for specific applications; animal models for evaluating engineered tissues; bioreactor design and applications; tissue engineering for neurological diseases and injuries; stem cell engineering, etc.
