| Learning Outcomes: |
By the end of this unit you will be able to:
- Demonstrate broad knowledge of the principles of tissue engineering and the methodology used
- Develop an integrative and critically evaluative approach to analyse the potential use of tissue engineering and engineered products in developing strategies for tissue replacement and repair.
- Critically evaluate and communicate the findings from cutting-edge research publications in in tissue engineering through formal presentation.
|
| Aims: | The unit aims to provide students with knowledge of current research in tissue engineering and an understanding of the challenges and opportunities in developing strategies for tissue repair and replacement.
|
| Content: | Topics will include cell therapy and applications in bioengineering, biomaterial design, decellularisation and bioprinting, bioartificial organs, tissue engineering in clinical practice, methods of analysis for tissue engineering, ethics and good manufacturing practice in biotechnology. This will be followed by exploration of the latest research in tissue engineering strategies for tissue repair, replacement and regeneration.
