Explore the molecular, cellular, and biochemical foundations of the human body while mastering how to apply engineering concepts to create innovative solutions for challenges such as:
Cultivating lab-grown blood vessels, tendons, or ligaments to eliminate the need for harvesting healthy tissue from patients
Developing lab-grown muscle tissue to aid individuals with severe traumatic muscle injuries (particularly military veterans)
Creating miniature "liver-on-a-chip" models for drug toxicity testing, reducing reliance on animal testing
Adjusting immune system responses to better accept bioengineered materials and lab-grown tissues
