Objectives & Outcomes
Course Objectives: The goal of this course to establish fundamental understanding of cell engineering technologies and of the key biological paradigms, upon which cell engineering is based, with the focus on biomedical applications of cell engineering.
Student Learning Outcomes: At the completion of this course students will understand how bioengineering technologies address the deliberate control of cell properties (and how this advances biomedicine); and students will learn the main concepts and current views on key attributes of animal cells (somatic, embryonic, pluripotent, germ-line; with the focus on mammalian cells).
