Sorry, no events available now. Please check back frequently for upcoming seminars and meetings.
-----Seminar Announcements-----
Monday November 7th, 2005 Seminar 4:00 - 5:00 pm, Clark 110 Applications of Smart Polymers as Bioconjugates by Allan S. Hoffman. Department of Bioengineering University of Washington -----Academic Announcements----- Department of Materials Science and Engineering, together with Department of Biomedical Engineering, has launched a series of three classes focusing on Biomaterials: 510.316 Biomaterials I Instructor: Michael Yu (Fall) An overview of principles and properties of biomedical materials. Topics include properties of materials used in medicine, synthesis and properties of polymeric materials, polymeric biomaterials, natural and recombinant biomaterials, biodegradable materials, hydrogels, stimuli-sensitive materials, and characterizations of biomaterials.
510.407/510.607 Biomaterials II Instructor: Hai-Quan Mao (Spring) This course focuses on the interaction of biomaterials with the biological system and applications of biomaterials. Topics include host reactions to biomaterials and their evaluation, cell-biomaterials interaction, biomaterials for tissue engineering applications, biomaterials for controlled drug and gene delivery, biomaterials for cardiovascular applications, biomaterials for orthopedic applications, and biomaterials for artificial organs.
510.617/580.xxx Advanced Topics in Biomaterials Instructors: Hai-Quan Mao, Kam W. Leong and Michael Yu (Spring) This course reviews recent advances in biomaterials focusing on the design principles in polymeric materials and scaffolds. It will cover topics from molecular designs of polymeric biomaterials, materials surface engineering, processing of polymeric scaffolds, to manipulation of cellular behaviours through materials engineering. Specific examples in cell and tissue engineering, and drug and gene delivery will be discussed.
