Musculoskeletal biomechanics will be introduced through discussion of physics-based models. Physics-based (or biomechanical models) will be described in the context of locomotion (walking, running), muscle physiology, force generation, as well as complex analyses of healthy and pathological movement. Experimental methods… Read More

This course will provide a basic roadmap for the process of translating innovative ideas that originate in the academic laboratory to clinical use. We will explore concepts related to biomedical technology development, invention disclosures, technology licensing, the Food and Drug… Read More

Mathematical modeling of biological and physiological phenomena. Starting from basic theory of linear systems, introduces qualitative analysis of nonlinear ordinary differential equations and maps. Examples from biomedical applications show concepts and methods. Prereq: calculus, linear algebra, and passing knowledge of… Read More

Focuses on the principles of engineering controlled release systems, and integrates topics in polymer chemistry, biomaterials, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, and mass transport phenomena.

Computer programming lab to utilize MATLAB to analyze biomedical measurements. (3 credits)  

Computational methods needed for experimental biomedical engineering research. Students will be acquainted with a variety of techniques for analyzing and modeling experimental data arising in molecular, cellular, physiological, and pathological systems encountered in typical laboratory and clinical settings.

Applying engineering principles, combined with molecular cell biology, to developing a fundamental understanding of property-function relationships in cells and tissues. Exploiting this understanding to manipulate cell and tissue properties rationally to alter, restore, maintain, or improve cell and tissue functions;… Read More
