Course Aims

The course Regenerative Medicine is an interdisciplinary and translational subject between clinical medicine, biomedical engineering and developmental biology which deals with the "process of replacing, engineering or regenerating human cells, tissues or organs to restore or establish normal function. It is an emerging biomedical engineering field which applies both engineering and biologic technologies to regenerate damaged tissues and even substitute non-functioning organs in human bodies.

This course is set up in such a way that student can understand this interdisciplinary subject with minimal background. Its major components include cell and tissue biology, biomaterials, and the engineering and clinical implementation. Clinical applications covered in this course include tissue regeneration of bone, cartilage etc.
