Courses taught by Professor Stanford:

Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine: Fundamentals and Applications (BME 1454/510)

This half-weight (13 week) course was developed to integrate relevant aspects of physiology, pathology, developmental biology, stem cell biology, disease treatment, tissue engineering, and biomedical devices. The course is structured such that basic principles of these disciplines are taught in the context of regenerative medicine and reinforced by journal-club style analysis of current regenerative medicine journal articles that utilize the principles being taught in class. This integrative approach is reflected by a problem-based learning approach to testing.

Engineering Biology (BME 105/BME 205/CHE 353)

Using a quantitative, problem solving approach, this half-weight (13 week) course introduces basic concepts in cell biology and physiology. Various engineering modeling tools are used to investigate aspects of cell growth and metabolism, transport across cell membranes, protein structure, homeostasis, and nerve conduction. The problem based learning approach demonstrates the utility of the engineering approach to solve biotechnological problems.
