BME 3410 - Systems Mechanobiology

Spring. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite: ENGRD 2020, MATH 2930, and BME 3010 (or equivalent). Permission required if prerequisites not met.

J. T. Butcher.

This course analyzes how mechanical forces affect biological responses across biological scales, including molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and organism level. Theoretical and empirical foundations and engineering approaches to applying, quantifying, and elucidating mechanobiological mechanisms across each scale will be presented. Applications in human health and disease pathogenesis will be emphasized.
