| Course Description: | Weaves concepts and fundamentals common to various aspects of research in bioengineering. They include the analysis of transport phenomenon in biological systems (for example, immobilized cell or enzyme systems, artificial organs, and drug delivery systems); construction and solution of mathematical models describing reaction networks (biosynthetic pathways); genetic engineering techniques applied to microorganisms, animals, and plants; and the cellular machinery and process by which biological products are synthesized by the cell, which includes such topics as genomics, proteomics, and metabonomics. Also explores other current topics. |
