BIOE 598 class schedule data for spring 2019
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
64638	Lecture-Discussion	AMS	12:30PM -1:50PM	TR	3217 Everitt Laboratory	Nie, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/14/19-05/01/19 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Cancer Nanotechnology Section Info: This is a graduate level course for students who are interested in learning nanotechnology and its applications in biology and medicine. Key topics include: (1) cancer biology and clinical oncology, (2) fundamentals of nanoscience, (3) principles of nanoscale engineering, (4) major classes of nanoparticles and nanostructures, and (5) nanomedicine - technologies and applications Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign. Restricted to students in the Bioengineering department.
60236	Lecture	DP	9:30AM -10:50AM	TR	2101 Everitt Laboratory	Pan, D	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/14/19-05/01/19 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Imaging & Therapeutic Probes 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. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign. Restricted to students in the Bioengineering department.
60232	Lecture	GU	3:30PM -4:50PM	TR	2233 Everitt Laboratory	Sirk, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/14/19-05/01/19 Credit: 4 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. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign. Restricted to MS:Bioengineering - UIUC, PHD: Bioengineering-UIUC, MENG:Bioeng:Gen Bioeng -UIUC, MENG:Bioeng:Comp Genomics-UIUC, or MENG:Bioeng:Bioinstrument-UIUC.
66022	Lecture	PS	9:30AM -10:50AM	MW	3217 Everitt Laboratory	Gaj, T	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/14/19-05/01/19 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Quantitative Biotechnology Section Info: Offers first year graduate students in Bioengineering an opportunity to be exposed to the modern biotechnologies which sparked a Renaissance in current biology and biomedicine. For each weekly topic, we will do an in-depth review of various methods including the conventional/traditional protocols and the nwly developed techniques. The scientific articles to be reviewed in class emphasize high precision, high spatial/temporal resolution, high-throughput, molecular accuracy, sensitivity and real-time imaging. Two students will be paired up to present each week's article and lead the discussion. The course consists of studies on the Central Dogma of Biology (DNA, RNA, and Protein) as well as cellular organelles and cell imaging. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign. Restricted to students in the Bioengineering department.
