Course description and aims
The attitude that materials and biological sciences have supported medical treatments is of great importance. In order to achieve innovations useful to medicine, students must succeed in grasping these very different disciplines through "interfaces," sort out the elements of materials science and engineering, and understand development process of biomedical devices. Students deepen their understanding through group discussions that draw on specific examples such as regenerative medicine, nanomedicine, and diagnostic technology. Lecture topics include surfaces, interfaces, cells, receptors, nanoparticles, collagens, scaffolding, etc.
Student learning outcomes
The goal of this course is to understand the nano-bionics field combined with biological science and materials science, and to think about material factors in biomedical devices and regenerative medicine in the right way. This course aims to impart students with the fundamental knowledge of how to consider the interface of biological tissues and biomaterials, how to apply biomedical devices with different properties, and their basic regulations from an engineering point of view.
This course provides knowledge of the evolution of biomedical devices and builds the foundation of technology related with nanomedicine, regenerative medicine and diagnostics based on a materials science perspective.

Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | ✔ Intercultural skills | ✔ Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Necessary materials are distributed for each lecture. Students should briefly summarize the lecture contents and submit it, to gain a deeper understanding of the content from the previous lecture.

| Class 7 | Tissue engineering C | Ligament and decullularization |
Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
