BME 5830 - Applied Cellular and Molecular Biology


An introduction to applications of cellular and molecular biology, with an emphasis on new theories and techniques in biomedical engineering. Quantitative models involving chemical engineering principles will be studied.

Requisites:
Credit Hours: 3
Repeat/Retake Information: May not be retaken.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 3.0 lecture
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes:
  • Apply concepts of specificity and sensitivity to design of diagnostic assays.
  • Apply knowledge of basic biomedical sciences (i.e., central dogma of molecular biology, molecular biology techniques, and immunology theory and practice) to the development and large scale-production of diagnostics and therapeutics.
  • Apply material balances in analysis of compartmental pharmacokinetic models.
  • Articulate societal relevance of late-breaking bioengineering advances in terminology accessible to both engineers and biomedical scientists.
  • Discuss advantages of different bioreactors in the production of monoclonal antibodies.
  • Discuss in both written and oral forms the numerous factors involved in the design of novel diagnostics and therapeutics, including technical hurdles, federal agency approvals, and ethical dilemmas.
  • Navigate the FDA website in order to find documents related to registered clinical trials, application forms to register new diagnostics and therapeutics with the FDA, and archived approval forms for diagnostics and therapeutics.
