生物医学工程哲学博士-生物材料与治疗学

生物材料和治疗学领域涵盖了一个跨学科领域，专注于生物材料和药物输送系统的物理和生物学研究。它涵盖了人造材料，大分子，生物共轭物，现代药物传递系统，网络和自组装系统，以及它们与生物环境的相互作用。生物材料与治疗学专业的学生应了解生物材料与药物输送系统的结构之间的关系，以及它们与复杂生物系统的相互作用。
The Biomaterials and Therapeutics track covers an interdisciplinary field focused on the physical and biological study of biomaterials and drug delivery systems and their applications to modern biomedical problems. It encompasses synthetic materials, macromolecules, bioconjugates, modern drug delivery systems, genetically programmed materials and networks, composites and hybrid materials, cell-material combinations, and self-assembling systems, as well as their interactions with biological environments and physiological systems. Students in the Biomaterials and Therapeutics track should understand the relationships between the structure and designs of biomaterials, synthetic biology, and drug delivery systems and their interactions with complex biological systems.<br>Ph.D. students in the biomaterials and therapeutics track are expected to have general knowledge in the field. Students are encouraged to take the qualifying exam in the second year of study. The qualifying exam covers topics specific to the field of biomaterials and drug delivery systems and integrates material offered from the track courses. One half of the exam requests the answers to mandatory questions from Biomaterials and Therapeutics track fundamentals. In the other half of the exam, each student can select questions that integrate materials from elective courses.
