Cells on Polymeric Biomaterials – A short course
offered by RESBIO, Technology Resource for Polymeric Biomaterials  Profs. Prabhas Moghe (left) and Pallassana Narayanan (front) with attendees of the Cells on Polymeric Biomaterials short course, October 29, 2009. 2010 Short Course dates will be announced by March
The Course Overview Cells on Polymeric Biomaterials is an in-depth 3-day short course designed for scientists and engineers to gain an understanding of how cells and proteins interact with materials. Scientific personnel and managers of interdisciplinary teams involved in tissue engineering or regenerative medicine, and anyone whose research touches on cell-material interactions, can benefit from instruction in novel approaches to accelerate the pace of discovery. The anticipated outcomes are better design of new medical implants and improved performance of existing devices. Significant emphasis will be placed on hands-on training so that participants can evaluate the available RESBIO resources and continue to use these resources for their needs even after the course. Three major topics on materials, confocal microscopy and computational modeling will be covered with one day allocated for each topic. The format of each day will be morning lectures and afternoon hands-on training. The materials topic will cover synthesis, fabrication and characterization of polymeric biomaterials. Perspectives on synthesis, processing and characterization in the context of product and process development, validation and regulatory submission will be presented. The confocal microscopy section will focus on cells-material sample preparation, imaging and analysis. The computational modeling course introduces the public interested in modeling of polymeric biomaterials to the state-of-he art molecular modeling tool Biomaterials StoreTM, developed at Rutgers Center for Computational Design and New Jersey Center for Biomaterials. The workshop will provide an introduction to the tools available in Biomaterials StoreTM and also a hands-on session where the users will work through a tutorial on the software.
