BME 381 and BME 295-02Computational Cell Biology for Biomedical Engineers
In the last decade, interdisciplinary science has established itself as a leading area of scientific investigation. The use of physics and mathematics to help understand biological systems hints at being one of the major scientific frontiers of this coming century. This course looks at biology at three separate length scales: molecular, cellular, and organismal/population. We will find that the math/physics of elasticity, hydrodynamics, statistical mechanics and reaction/diffusion can explain a broad range of phenomena throughout these size ranges. This course stresses the physical intuition of how to apply quantitative methods to the study of biology through the use of dimensional analysis, analytic calculation and computer modeling.

BME 295-03 and 300-01 Composites and Biomaterials
We start with a presentation of general composites concepts of specific properties, fiber reinforcement, and methods of processing. We then use the liquid molding process to introduce some of the important issues and tradeoffs inherent in producing composites for various industries. This year, we will introduce several biomaterials, both natural and synthetic, in the context of composites. Important types of synthetic biomaterial composites include tissue scaffolds, bone cements, and dental reconstructions. Chemical reaction mechanisms in the polymeric component of the composite will be described and discussed for several applications ranging from the high volume automotive industry to one of a kind biomedical implants.
