Cancer Engineering, Spring 2022 (AME 60676)
We will explore the barriers in the tumor microenvironment that thwart drug delivery and efficacy and tumor-fighting immune cells. Through didactic lectures, expert seminars, and in-class projects based on the primary literature, we will examine how cutting-edge engineering approaches can be used to overcome these barriers and improve treatment outcomes.

Physiology for Engineers, Spring 2023 (AME 40573)
Applying engineering fundamentals to physiology allows for new insights into normal and abnormal (i.e., pathophysiological) biological function. Using a systems-based approach, we will quantitatively explore the biological, chemical, electrical, and mechanical foundations of human physiology. We will examine how engineering approaches – both empirical and theoretical – can be used to understand healthy and diseased organ systems, including but not limited to the nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems.
