Description
The aim of the module is to introduce students to tools and technologies that underpin manufacture of stem cell-based regenerative medicine products. These are becoming increasingly important for 21st century healthcare and which will require talented multi-disciplinary engineers and scientists able to create sustainable manufacturing pathways. Specific aims will be to ensure all students irrespective of their background discipline will have a fundamental understanding of the cell biology that underpins stem cell manufacture and an understanding of the process options and challenges for moving into industrial systems. This module can be taken as stand-alone or as part of the Regenerative Medicine Minor.
Upon completion of the course, a student should be able to:
- Demonstrate an understanding of fundamental biology that underpins stem cell behaviour and that is critical to understand for successful manufacture of regenerative medicinesÌý
- Demonstrate an understanding and working knowledge of manual cell handling, including those that are typically used at research scaleÌý
- Apply knowledge on typical technology platforms and unit operations that impactÌý regenerative medicine manufacturing pathwaysÌý
