376-1392-00LMechanobiology: Implications for Development, Regeneration and Tissue EngineeringW3 KP2GG. Shivashankar
KurzbeschreibungThis course will emphasize the importance of mechanobiology to cell determination and behavior. Its importance to regenerative medicine and tissue engineering will also be addressed. Finally, this course will discuss how age and disease adversely alter major mechanosensitive developmental programs.
LernzielThe goal of this course is to provide an introduction to the emerging field of “Mechanobiology”.
InhaltWe will focus on cells and tissues and introduce the major methods employed in uncovering the principles of mechanobiology. We will first discuss the cellular mechanotransduction mechanisms and how they regulate genomes. This will be followed by an analysis of the mechanobiological underpinnings of cellular differentiation, cell-state transitions and homeostasis. Developing on this understanding, we will then introduce the mechanobiological basis of cellular ageing and its impact on tissue regeneration, including neurodegeneration and musculoskeletal systems. We will then highlight the importance of tissue organoid models as routes to regenerative medicine. We will also discuss the impact of mechanobiology on host-pathogen interactions. Finally, we will introduce the broad area of mechanopathology and the development of cell-state biomarkers as readouts of tissue homeostasis and disease pathologies. Collectively, the course will provide a quantitate framework to understand the mechanobiological processes at cellular scale and how they intersect with tissue function and diseases.

KurzbeschreibungThis course is aimed at studying the mechanical and structural engineering of the musculoskeletal system alongside the analysis and design of orthopaedic solutions to musculoskeletal failure.
LernzielTo apply engineering and design principles to orthopaedic biomechanics, to quantitatively assess the musculoskeletal system and model it, and to review rigid-body dynamics in an interesting context.
InhaltEngineering principles are very important in the development and application of quantitative approaches in biology and medicine. This course includes a general introduction to structure and function of the musculoskeletal system: anatomy and physiology of musculoskeletal tissues and joints; biomechanical methods to assess and quantify tissues and large joint systems. These methods will also be applied to musculoskeletal failure, joint replacement and reconstruction; implants; biomaterials and tissue engineering.

376-1712-00LFinite Element Analysis in Biomedical Engineering Information W3 KP2VS. J. Ferguson, B. Helgason
KurzbeschreibungThis course provides an introduction to finite element analysis, with a specific focus on problems and applications from biomedical engineering.
LernzielFinite element analysis is a powerful simulation method for the (approximate) solution of boundary value problems. While its traditional roots are in the realm of structural engineering, the methods have found wide use in the biomedical engineering domain for the simulation of the mechanical response of the human body and medical devices. This course provides an introduction to finite element analysis, with a specific focus on problems and applications from biomedical engineering. This domain offers many unique challenges, including multi-scale problems, multi-physics simulation, complex and non-linear material behaviour, rate-dependent response, dynamic processes and fluid-solid interactions. Theories taught are reinforced through practical applications in self-programmed and commercial simulation software, using e.g. MATLAB, ANSYS, FEBIO.
