Materials for Biomaterials: Overview & Applications
This lecture series covers the fundamentals of biomaterials, including naturally derived and manmade biomaterials, polymers, nanoparticles, surfaces, and their applications in drug delivery, cell adhesion, immune engineering, and tissue engineering. The course emphasizes lab skills, project-oriented thinking, teamwork, and experimental planning. Students will also learn about lab journaling, theory translation, and preparation for practical projects. The labs focus on hydrogel synthesis, cell culture manipulation, tissue engineering, and detailed cell imaging on 2D materials, using state-of-the-art imaging technology.
