Lecturer(s) :

Frey Peter

Language:

English

Summary

Introduction into theoretical and practical aspects of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine with particular interest in organ tissue engineering

Content

Multidisciplinary lectures covering pre- and postnatal tissue engineering in urology, for diaphragmatic hernia, pancreatic, and cartilage and bone regeneration.

Further, growt factor and stem cell biology as well as bioreactor technology for tissue engineering application will be discussed.

In addition specific matrix biology for tissue engineering products, in particular the fibrin technology will be evocated, with a particular interest in the prevention of scar tissue formation.

Presentation of ethical issues in regenerative medicine.
