Module Aims
On successful completion students will be able to consider the clinical and research use of stem cells and their derivatives and the ethical issues that arise and assess the current limitations and potential applications of tissue engineering for medical applications, drug discovery and food manufacturing. Additionally students will be able to consider how interdisciplinary work with engineering can generate novel ways to diagnosis, treat and/or manage human diseases and pathologies.
This module is delivered through a combination of lectures, workshops and seminars.
In engaging with the module, students will fully achieve the following level appropriate behaviour domains of the USW graduate attributes:-
Communication: Behaviours 1, 2
Digital Literacy: Behaviour 2
The capabilities associated with these behaviours are found in the graduate attributes listed at the end of the descriptor.
Content Summary
Topics covering regenerative medicine will include, but are not limited to:-
Tissue Engineering, artificial organs and transplantation
Medical prostheses and implantable devices
Biomaterials, nanotechnology
Bioengineering
Role of stem cells in normal physiology and their potential for therapy.
Potential of in vitro fertilisation and preimplantation genetic disorders and screening.
