Tuesday 2:50-5:50PM FALL 2000
Rutgers LUCY STONE HALL (LSH) - B205 (Livingston Campus)
;Rutgers Instructor: Prof. Prabhas Moghe (moghe@rci.rutgers.edu)
The purpose of this course is to provide fundamental instruction on the methods and rationales used in characterization of materials used in cellular bioengineering, tissue engineering and biomedical implant fabrication. It includes instruction in microscopy and imaging techniques, spectroscopy and electron probe methods, mechanical characterization, genetic and biomolecular detection, and quantitative models used to characterize cell and tissue response to biomaterials. It also includes topics such as response of specific tissues to biomaterials, tissue engineering, and artificial organs. Student evaluation will be based on two in-class exams and a biomaterials characterization project. The UMDNJ interface of the course will be directed by Professor John L. Ricci.
