Spring 2010/2011/2012: BMEN 6382 Systems Biology
An interdisciplinary course on the design principles of biological systems, with a focus on the experimental and theoretical tools used to shed light on biological circuits. The course will examine well-studied systems and synthetic biology prototypes (e.g. synthetic genetic switches), will highlight the latest research results (e.g. biocomputers, synthetic oscillators and counters), and will discuss key scientific and technological challenges.
Spring 2012: BMEN 1208 Introduction to Biomedical Engineering
The purpose of this course is to give students a general understanding of the broad range of applications specific to the biomedical engineering profession. Course exercises include team-oriented competitions, lectures by various external biomedical engineering experts, and introductory materials associated with the discipline. Perform a competitive team design project.
Fall 2010/2011: Genes, Proteins and Cell Biology for Engineers
This course provides an introduction to principles of modern molecular and cellular biology for engineers and other non-life-scientists. Topics include genes, protein structure and function, organization of cells and cellular trafficking.
