Undergraduate Studies

Cell and Tissue Engineering Track:

Total Track Hours must equal 15

Cell and Tissue Engineering describes the combined use of cells, materials, and biochemical factors to induce the growth of functional tissues for medical applications. Students in this track of study learn about how cells control and are controlled by the cellular microenvironment. BIOE students are trained in cell selection and culture, scaffold and bioreactor designs, biosensors, and assessments of cellular and tissue responses. Application areas include tissue engineering for medical repair and replacement.
