Description

Tissue engineering has the potential to revolutionise the treatment of number of damaged and diseased tissues and organs, to improve upon current approaches to replacing tissue function (e.g. biomaterials and autografts) and to tackle medical needs that are beyond current medical practices (e.g. spinal cord repair, whole organ replacement). This module introduces students to the use of tissue engineering as a strategy to replace or restore a level of function to diseased or damaged tissues.

Students will consider the scientific challenges within the field of tissue engineering and how to improve the translation of these technologies so that they can benefit patients. Topic that students will learn about include how to direct cell behaviour (e.g. stem cell differentiation) through material design, how tissues regenerate, how to promote new blood vessel formation and current research in engineering a variety of different tissues (including bone, nerve and whole organ tissue engineering). A critical approach to the field is encouraged and supported through coursework assessments that enable students to evaluate the quality of research.
