Introduction to Bioengineering

About the course

Are you interested in state-of-the-art technologies at the interface of biology, medicine, and engineering? Do you want to learn how different disciplines work together to enhance health care, research possibilities, and our daily lives? Then this lecture series is for you! In this course, you will learn about the basic concepts of bio(medical) engineering. You will get to know the intellectual and practical junctions between classic engineering principles and bio(medical) engineering.

Among other topics, in this course you will learn about:

The basic structure and function of cells and tissues.
How to measure from biological systems (Instrumentation / Sensors / Imaging)
What information can be collected from biological systems (-omics, dynamics).
How to analyze information measured from biological systems.
How to model biological systems (In silico approaches: Computational design)
How to create and alter cell function (Cell Engineering / Synthetic Biology)
How to create tissues and solitary organs (Tissue Engineering / 3D printing)
Microfluidics and Organoids / Biochips as the biology workbench of the future
