Introduction
This course is about materials used to construct medical implants and other devices used to repair, replace or regenerate tissues and organs. Specific emerging application areas of materials in medicine, namely tissue engineering and drug delivery, are elaborated on.
This course is part of:
- Graduate Certificate in Materials Science and Engineering
- FlexiMasters in Materials Science and Engineering
At the end of the course, learners are able to:
1. Define tissue engineering and drug delivery;
2. Describe the motivations and rationales behind tissue engineering and drug delivery;
3. Discuss the role of biomaterials in tissue engineering and drug delivery and;
4. Discuss important material properties to consider when selecting a material for tissue engineering scaffolds/drug delivery devices and their implications.
