"Medical bioengineering" is an engineering system for developing technologies to be useful for medical use by using biotechnology techniques. Medical fields to be applied are various diseases including lifestyle diseases such as cancer. In the lecture, students learn the basics in developing materials and technologies to be applied to human beings, and also learn about diagnostic technology using imaging and biomarkers, and drug development such as regenerative medicine, biopharmaceuticals, drug delivery system, and anti-cancer drugs.
Students will acquire the following knowledge by taking Medical bioengineering lectures.
1) Fundamentals of biotechnology for medical applications
2) Diagnosis of lifestyle-related diseases
3) Antibody drugs
4) Fundamentals and applications of drag delivery system
5) Fundamentals and applications of bio MEMS
6) Cancer Biology and Cancer Diagnosis / Treatment Technology
Biomaterial, Pharmacokinetics, Imaging probe, Drug delivery system, BioMEMS, Lifestyle-related diseases, Cancer
✔ Specialist skills | ✔ Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
The lecture will be carried out using PPT, and the subject quiz test will be carried out at the end of lecture. Please read the lecture materials distributed beforehand in OCWi and prepare.
This lecture is all done in English, but there are cases where an overview is introduced in Japanese as necessary.
