Course Schedule and Catalog

Long Title: BIOSYSTEMS TRANSPORT AND REACTION PROCESSES

Department: Bioengineering

Grade Mode: Standard Letter

Course Type: Lecture

Credit Hours: 3

Prerequisite(s): MATH 211 AND MATH 212

Description: The principles of reaction kinetics and transport phenomena will be used to quantitatively describe biological systems. Cell biology, physiology, anatomy, and materials science topics will be covered as background for the study of cell membrane transport, receptor-ligand interactions, and normal organ function. Models will be introduced to describe pathological conditions, drug pharmaco-kinetics, and artificial organ designs. Cross-list: CHBE 420.
