Course combines leading-edge developments in biology, physiology, medicine and engineering; tissue engineering involves the design and processing of biomaterial scaffolds for the incorporation and growth of living cells and tissues; it allows the fabrication of 'new' organs to replace original tissue lost due to injury or disease; one of the best examples is the use of replacement skin for burns patients; biomaterial science underpins tissue engineering scaffold design, but it also features heavily in the everyday use of dental materials, contact lenses and even the prosthetic replacement of body parts; course focuses on the interfaces between natural and synthetic materials, cells and tissues, and how they can be applied to the repair, treatment and diagnosis of human disease and injury; it gives a comprehensive grounding in the principles of human biology and of materials applicable for use in medical devices and tissue engineering; it combines an understanding of how materials influence cellular processes with an up-to-date awareness of principles, issues and approaches to tissue engineering.
