BEE 3600

Molecular and Cellular Bioengineering

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2018-2019.

Biotechnology viewed at the cellular and molecular level. Advances in biotechnology are broken down to their functional parts using the tools of biological engineering (thermodynamics, transport, kinetics, etc.) to understand how and why they work with an emphasis on design. Particular attention paid to gene therapy, synthetic biology, protein engineering, and nucleic acid engineering. Case studies in biomedical, bioprocess, and bioenvironmental engineering.

When Offered Spring.
