Description

In this CBL-course you are asked to:

- explore organ-on-a-chip's that are available for a given tissue
- select the best one
- identify what is great about it and where it can be improved
- and finally you are challenged to make a proposal for an improved version that gives next-level possibilities.  

Objectives

After this course, you will be able to:

1. describe the role that cells and stem cells have in the creation of an organ on a chip.
2. describe the role of experimental methods to study the development, composition, and functionality of an organ on a chip
3. describe the physiological processes and/or anatomy that characteristically for an organ and how these elements are translated into an organ on a chip
4. propose a design for an organ-on-a-chip system
5. identify the multidisciplinary nature of research in the Biomedical Engineering faculty
6. contribute to a group project in Biomedical Engineering, both in terms of content and process
7. find and identify relevant literature and use it to support the project
8. write a report in scientific terms
