BME 306L
Cellular Engineering (AC or GE)
Brenton D. Hoffman
Description from DukeHub
This BME area core course offers an engineer's perspective on how cell processes including gene and protein regulation, growth, proliferation, death, differentiation, adhesion and migration can be manipulated to achieve a desired outcome. Mathematical models are applied to quantitatively describe these cell processes. Applications of cell therapies and tissue engineering are examined. Mammalian cell culture techniques including quantitative measurements of viability, proliferation, differentiation, and protein and gene expression are introduced within the laboratory. MC area core course leading to MC area elective pathway. Prerequisite: BME 244L and BME 260L
