BS Biomedical Engineering in Biomaterials Cellular and Tissue Engineering

Biomaterials/cellular/tissue engineering involves the characterization and use of structural materials, derived from synthetic or natural sources, to design medical products that safely interact with tissues for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes such as artificial blood vessels, heart valves, orthopedic joints, and drug delivery vehicles. Tissue engineers understand structure function relationships in normal and pathological tissues to engineer living tissues and/or biological substitutes to restore, maintain, or improve function.
