InGe 5997 Molecular & Cellular Bioengineering

To introduce the cutting-edge engineering technologies applied in the molecular and cellular biology research, i.e., how can the properties of genes, molecules, and cells be monitored, measured, manipulated, and modeled to advance our understanding of complex biological systems. Special emphasis will also be placed on how cells interact with each other and external environment to shed light on the molecular mechanisms governing tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

InGe 5997 BioMaterials

This course will integrate materials science and engineering concepts with biology to educate students on the design consideration of successful interfaces between living cells and organic and inorganic materials as well as medical devices.

InGe 5036 Bioinformatics

This course provides students with an introduction to the theory and methods of DNA and protein sequence analysis. Students receive experience with retrieving information from sequence and genome databases.

Methods of sequence alignments including dynamic programming and statistical methods are outlined. Emphasis is also placed on calculating the statistical significance of results. Protein structural alignments and displays, and structure prediction is covered. RNA structure prediction and RNA gene finding is also discussed. Gene prediction algorithms, methods of phylogenetic analysis, and database similarity searching are also explained.

The course also introduces students to the analysis of genomes for protein families and domains and to the analysis of gene expression patterns
