Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

Module code: EG4063

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine focuses on the combination of engineered structures, biological cells and the human body’s unique capabilities for regeneration in order to heal complex injuries and cure disease. In this module, you will learn how advances in knowledge of human and cell biology have led to improved bio-engineering solutions and patient outcome. You will consider the importance of interdisciplinarity and the key role of communication between clinicians, basic scientists, engineers and patients. The module will also consider the sustainability, environmental and societal impacts in consideration of technical and ethical risk in selecting a tissue engineering solution for a specific biomedical engineering application.
