Summary:
The field of biomedical engineering has vastly expanded in the past
two decades, as reflected in the increased number of bioengineering
and biomaterials programs at universities. The growth of this area
has outpaced the development of laboratory courses that allow
students hands-on experience, since the barriers involved in creating
multidisciplinary biomaterials laboratory courses are high. A
Laboratory Course in Biomaterials provides a new teaching tool that
is comprehensive in scope and current in its perspective.
Multidisciplinary approachSuitable for junior or senior level
laboratory courses in biomaterials and bioengineering, this volume
trains students in laboratory skills, data analysis, problem solving,
and scientific writing. The text takes a multidisciplinary approach,
integrating a variety of principles that include materials science,
chemistry, biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, and engineering.
Step-by-step instructionsThe author presents flexible modules that
allow the coursework to be adapted to the needs of different
departments, and each module is organized around a central theme,
such as drug delivery and natural biomaterials, to enhance student
comprehension. This book provides step-by-step descriptions of lab
procedures, reagents, equipment, and data processing guidelines, and
a series of thought-provoking questions and answers following each
experiment, drawn from the author’s own experience in teaching a
biomaterials laboratory course at the University of Illinois.Timely
in its coverage, many of the experiments presented in the book are
adapted from research papers, reflecting the recent progress in
various disciplines of bioengineering and biomaterials science.
