ENSC S-135: Biochemical Engineering and Synthetic Life

Semester: 

Summer

Offered: 

2023
Biochemical engineering harnesses living cells as miniature chemical reactors, enabling the production of designer molecules ranging from pharmaceuticals to plastics to biofuels. Live cells possess unique capabilities to manufacture complex chemical entities, yet living cells also introduce unique challenges and tradeoffs. This course introduces students to the fundamentals of biochemical engineering, including its biological underpinnings, the flow of genetic information within biological systems, the building blocks of living cells, and cellular pathways and control mechanisms. The course... Read more about ENSC S-135: Biochemical Engineering and Synthetic Life

ENSC E-132: Tissue Engineering for Clinical Applications

Semester: 

Spring

Offered: 

2023
Tissue engineering is now recognized as a way to lessen the global disease burden: novel methods for pancreatic islet regeneration can address diabetes; autologous cells for heart muscle regeneration can address coronary artery disease; and nerve regeneration technologies can be used to treat stroke. This course describes strategies of tissue engineering and focuses on the diseases tissue engineering can address. Each lecture identifies a specific disease (coronary artery disease, stroke, diabetes) and describes tissue-engineered scaffolds that can alleviate the disease. Students learn the...

BIOT E-225: Biomedical Product Development

Semester: 

Fall

Offered: 

2022
This course examines the design and development of new therapeutic products. Students learn through case-based studies of product development for pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, and combination therapies. The course describes the steps of biomedical product development, from conceptualization, to design, to manufacturing, to regulatory approval and commercialization. The course discusses both technical and business factors that contribute to the success or failure of new biomedical products. Appropriate design of preclinical and clinical trials is also included. Students gain an... Read more about BIOT E-225: Biomedical Product Development

ENSC S-107: Acceptance and Resistance to Innovation

Semester: 

Summer

Offered: 

2021
This course discusses the factors that influence societal acceptance of innovations. In order for an innovation to have impact, and in order for an entrepreneur to be successful, the innovation must gain acceptance within the broader society. Why are novel technologies readily accepted in some communities, yet resisted in other communities? Students learn through case studies of technologies such as genetically modified foods, solar energy, nuclear power, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, and virtual reality. Many case studies are inspired by, but not limited to,... Read more about ENSC S-107: Acceptance and Resistance to Innovation
