Description:

Credits: 3 Prerequisites: BIO 01, CE 318, CE 39 Corequisites: None Type: LEC Discusses the application of biological transport and kinetics principles in normal human physiology, disease states and during treatment. Focuses on selected aspects of the nature of receptor-ligand interactions, cell adhesion mechanics, drug delivery, and biological transport in organs. Topics include experimental methods for measuring receptor-ligand interactions, models for receptor-ligand binding and analysis of real data, methods for measuring and analyzing cell adhesion both in suspension and substrate based assays, cardiovascular fluid mechanics, blood components and blood viscosity measurements, flow in arteries and microcirculation, fahraeus effect, engineering principles for drug delivery including diffusion and convective transport of drugs to organs, pharmacokinetic modeling, drug delivery system design and controlled drug release, transport between blood and tissues, and between kidneys and tumors.
