Thematik

The course material is designed to provide theoretical background to currently employed three dimensional tissue culture techniques including scaffold-based (biodegradable) and scaffold-free (tissue printing, pelleting and hanging-drop) systems. The course will detail the importance of the tissue microenvironment in normal and artificial tissue development. Directed cellular growth, organ formation for surgical implantation and drug target identification in human tissue systems and in vitro testing of pharmaceutical compounds in complex tissue systems are also part of the curriculum. The course will discuss the latest advances in technology and medicine for replacing tissues and organs damaged by disease and of developing therapies for previously untreatable conditions.
