生物医学工程理学学士-细胞和组织工程

该领域试图从微观层面理解和解决生物医学问题，并利用这些知识来改造单个细胞的替代组织和器官。需要了解解剖学，生物化学以及细胞和亚细胞结构的力学知识，以了解疾病的过程和靶向干预。有了这些知识，新技术已经或正在开发中。示例包括：（1）用于在精确位置递送刺激或抑制细胞过程以促进愈合或抑制疾病形成和进展的化合物的微型装置，（2）产生替代性皮肤并可能一天产生心脏瓣膜，冠状血管的新技术甚至整个心脏，（3）开发用于植入的人造材料以及结合蛋白质或活细胞的新生物材料，从而为活组织提供更真实的生物学和机械匹配。
This area seeks to understand and attack biomedical problems at the microscopic level and use such knowledge to engineer replacement tissues and organs from individual cells. Knowledge of anatomy, biochemistry and the mechanics of cellular and sub-cellular structures is needed to understand disease processes and to target interventions. Armed with such knowledge, new technologies have been, or are being, developed. Examples include: (1) Miniature devices for delivering compounds that stimulate or inhibit cellular processes in precise locations to promote healing or inhibit disease formation and progression, (2) New techniques that have produced replacement skin and may one day produce heart valves, coronary vessels, and even entire hearts, (3) Development of artificial materials used for implantation as well as new biomaterials that incorporate proteins or living cells, thereby providing a truer biological and mechanical match for the living tissue.
