BIOE 498 class schedule data for spring 2015
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
60235	Lecture	DP	1:00PM -2:20PM	MW	Location Pending	Pan, D	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/15-05/06/15 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Imaging & Therapeutic Agents Section Info: This course will introduce the principles and prerequisites for clinical (MRI, CT, US, PET-SPECT) and pre-clinical (PAT, Optical) imaging modalities and chemical strategies to develop exogenous probes for the early detection of molecular changes responsible for disease pathogenesis such as cardiovascular, inflammatory, cancer and neurological disorders. We will also discuss in depth the strategies for site-specific delivery of therapeutic agents (chemotherapeutic, thrombolytic, and biologics) with biochemically triggered release mechanisms. The course is designed to teach various aspects of translational medicine from imaging and therapeutic standpoint. Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of various clinical and preclinical imaging modalities, prerequisites for developing probes for these modalities, their application in current clinical practice, and preclinical development in various animal models of cancer, cardiovascular and neurological diseases. We will also explore therapeutic approaches (chemo- and biologics) to these diseases and identify opportunities for personalized preemptive medicine. The course is uniquely tailored for students interested in interdisciplinary translational research with direct clinical focus.
60231	Lecture	GU	11:00AM -12:20PM	MW	106B1 Engineering Hall	Underhill, G	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/15-05/06/15 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Stem Cell Bioengineering Section Info: Application of engineering approaches for the quantitative analysis of stem cell biology, including stem cell genetics and stem cell microenvironments. Design principles underlying stem cell-based therapies and diagnostics. Stem cell biomanufacturing.
60233	Lecture Lecture	PII PII	2:30PM -3:50PM 4:00PM -4:50PM	TR F	Location Pending Location Pending	Imoukhuede, P Imoukhuede, P	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/15-05/06/15 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Systems Bioengineering Section Info: Systems Biology and Bioengineering are emerging fields that require new minds that are adept in integrating biology with mathematics and computation. In this course you will receive training in bimodal systems biology: (1) Translating experimental observations to mathematical representations. (2) Deterministic network model development, mathematical solution techniques, simulation, and prediction. These approaches will be presented in the context of tumor angiogenesis. Here students will examine the angiogenic signaling pathways, and apply systems biology and bioengineering approaches to design new therapeutics targeting tumor vasculature.
62349	Laboratory-Discussion Laboratory-Discussion	PPP PPP	9:00AM -11:50AM 9:00AM -9:50AM	R MW	Location Pending Location Pending	Perez Pinera, P Perez Pinera, P	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/15-05/06/15 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Adv. Topics in Synthetic Biol Section Info: The objective of this course is to provide the knowledge and hands-on experience required for both designing and building tools that are necessary to engineer biological systems at the molecular, cellular, and organism levels. This particular course will highlight diverse examples of applications, challenges, and controversies in synthetic biology, and will deal with such topics as artificial amino and nucleic acids, genome engineering for the treatment of human diseases, rescuing extinct genomes, recoded organisms, the rise of the third agricultural revolution, synthetic life, and post humanism. Restriction(s): Restricted to students in the Bioengineering department. Restricted to Bioengineering major(s).
