42-670 Special Topics: Biomaterial Host Interactions in Regenerative Medicine
12 units, Carnegie Mellon University
Special Topics This course will provide students with handson experience in investigating host responses to synthetic and naturally biomaterials used in regenerative medicine applications. Students will gain experience in the analysis of host responses to these biomaterials as well as strategies to control host interaction. Biomaterial biocompatibility, immune interactions, tissue healing and regeneration will be addressed. Students will integrate classroom lectures with laboratory skills evaluating hostmaterial interactions in a laboratory setting. Laboratory characterization techniques will include cell culture techniques, microscopic, cytochemical, immunocytochemical and histological analyses. Prerequisite junior or senior standing in Biomedical Engineering or consent of the instructor.
