BMET1961: Biomedical Engineering 1B
This biomedical engineering core unit of study provides an introduction to various aspects of biomedical engineering, and rapidly growing field of bioengineering and regenerative medicine. Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field of science that is characterised by the application of engineering principles to the field of biology and medicine. Concepts and methodologies in biomedical engineering extend throughout the medical and biological sciences. This unit introduces wide range of basic concepts from human anatomy (tissue and organ levels) to cell biology (cellular level), and to molecular biology (molecule level). On the base of the understanding human anatomy, the emerging approaches for improving health care and health services, including bioreactors, bioinformatics, gene therapy and stem cell technology are also introduced; thus integrating biomedical engineering principles, biology and medicine.
