printer friendly pageBIO 155: Cell and Developmental Biology of Plants (BIO 255)
In this course we will learn how plants are built at different organizational scales from the cell, tissue, organ and organ system level. We will also learn about the experimental methods used to study plants at these different organizational levels and how to interpret and evaluate experiments that use such methods. Finally, advances in genetic engineering will be discussed as a means of manipulating the form and function of plants for sustainable agriculture. Broadly relevant skills that will be cultivated in the course include: evaluating primarily literature, identifying gaps in knowledge, formulating research questions and designing new experimental strategies. Prerequisites: BIO 80 series or equivalent.

BIOE 44: Fundamentals for Engineering Biology Lab
An introduction to techniques in genetic, molecular, biochemical, cellular and tissue engineering. Lectures cover advances in the field of synthetic biology with emphasis on genetic engineering, plasmid design, gene synthesis, genetic circuits, and safety and bioethics. Lab modules will teach students how to conduct basic lab techniques, add/remove DNA from living matter, and engineer prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Team projects will support practice in component engineering with a focus on molecular design and quantitative analysis of experiments, device and system engineering using abstracted genetically encoded objects, and product development. Concurrent or previous enrollment in
BIO 82 or
BIO 83. Preference to declared BioE students. Students who have not declared BioE should email Alex Engel to get on a waitlist for a permission code to enroll. Class meets in Shriram 112, lab meets in Shriram 114. Scientific Method and Analysis (SMA).

BIOE 103: Systems Physiology and Design
Physiology of intact human tissues, organs, and organ systems in health and disease, and bioengineering tools used (or needed) to probe and model these physiological systems. Topics: Clinical physiology, network physiology and system design/plasticity, diseases and interventions (major syndromes, simulation, and treatment, instrumentation for intervention, stimulation, diagnosis, and prevention), and new technologies including tissue engineering and optogenetics. Discussions of pathology of these systems in a clinical-case based format, with a view towards identifying unmet clinical needs. Learning computational skills that not only enable simulation of these systems but also apply more broadly to biomedical data analysis. Prerequisites:

BIOE 103B: Systems Physiology and Design
ONLINE Offering of
BIOE 103. This pilot class,
BIOE103B, is an entirely online offering with the same content, learning goals, and prerequisites as
BIOE 103. The class is open to BioE-declared students who are not on campus in the spring. Students attend class by watching videos and completing assignments remotely. Physiology of intact human tissues, organs, and organ systems in health and disease, and bioengineering tools used (or needed) to probe and model these physiological systems. Topics: Clinical physiology, network physiology and system design/plasticity, diseases and interventions (major syndromes, simulation, and treatment, instrumentation for intervention, stimulation, diagnosis, and prevention), and new technologies including tissue engineering and optogenetics.

BIOE 260: Tissue Engineering (ORTHO 260)
Principles of tissue engineering and design strategies for practical applications for tissue repair. Topics include tissue morphogenesis, stem cells, biomaterials, controlled drug and gene delivery, and paper discussions. Students will learn skills for lab research through interactive lectures, paper discussions and research proposal development. Students work in small teams to work on develop research proposal for authentic tissue engineering problems. Lab sessions will teach techniques for culturing cells in 3D, as well as fabricating and characterizing hydrogels as 3D cell niche.

BIOE 261: 3D Bioprinting Laboratory
3D bioprinting promises engineered tissues with precise structure, composition, and cellular architecture. This biofabrication technology lies at the interface of biology, bioengineering, materials science, and instrumentation. This course will teach some of the latest technologies through fundamental lectures and hands-on 3D bioprinting workshops. Student groups will embark on independent projects to innovate in any aspect or application of 3D bioprinting hardware, wetware, or software. Experience in tissue engineering (
BIOE260), instrumentation (
BIOE123), or biomaterials (
MATSCI 381) is helpful but not required.

CHEMENG 170X: Mechanics of Soft Matter: Rheology (CHEMENG 470)
Soft matter comes in many forms and includes polymeric materials, suspensions, emulsions, foams, gels, and living tissue. These materials are characterized by being easily deformed and possessing internal relaxation time spectra. They are viscoelastic with responses that are intermediate between purely viscous liquids and perfectly elastic solids. This course provides an introduction to the subject of rheology, which concerns the deformation and flow of complex liquids and solids. Rheological testing is aimed at determining the relationships between the applied stresses in these materials and the resulting deformations. These are characterized by material functions, such as viscosity (shear and extensional), moduli, and compliances. These functions reflect the microstructure of the material being tested and microstructural models of polymers (single chain theories and reptation-based models), suspensions, emulsions, and foams will be presented. Experimental methods to measure materials subjected to both shearing and elongational deformations will be described. Many soft matter systems are influenced by interfacial phenomena (foams, emulsions, thin films in the human body) and interfacial rheological techniques will be discussed. Advanced undergraduates register for 170X; graduates register for 470. Prerequisites: ChE 120A or its equivalent (concurrent enrollment is permissible)
