DESCRIPTION
Regenerative Medicine (RM) and Tissue Engineering are multidisciplinary fields that apply the principles of life science, engineering, and basic science to the development of viable substitutes which restore, maintain, or improve the function of human tissues. This course is designed to provide an advanced knowledge of tissue and organ regeneration and a practical point of view to tissue engineering, understanding the biotechnological tools to generate each component.
Students will be required to learn and gain expertise from analysis of primary literature about the design of tissue functional units. The student will acquire the ability to design biological tissues by using advanced techniques in bioengineering and biotechnology from the developmental point of view. The students will acquire the ability to understand the importance of stem cells and gene therapy in order to succeed in the generation of a tissue, even in pathological situations.
