BSCI439L

Biological Sciences majors. edu). Examination of the structure and function of natural biomaterials, and cell-extracellular matrix interactions. Study physical properties of synthetic biomaterials for biomedical applications. Understanding molecular level interactions between biomolecules and biomaterials to design novel biomaterials with desirable characteristics. Application ofbiomaterials as implants, drug delivery systems, biosensors, engineered materials such as artificial skin and bone growth scaffolds will be covered. (Sponsoring Dept.: BSCI).
