Experimentation and Modelling in Cell and Tissue Biomechanics

Module code: EMS737P

Credits: 15.0
Semester: SEM2

Contact: Dr Himadri Gupta

This module is concerned with natural biological materials and how design is optimised for appropriate function. It reviews the mechanics of natural tissues and cells and how they relate to structure and composition. The methods by which structures can function effectively within their natural load environment are also covered, in addition to how they may change with age, disease or damage. It brings this together considering the current methods for characterizing and investigating structure-function in tissues.
