Senior Capstone in Regenerative Bioscience

Course Description

In this course, students will learn about current regenerative bioscience therapies and diagnostics (e.g., cell therapies, biomaterials/tissue engineering, gene therapies, cell engineering, etc.) through scientific paper discussions, lab tours, field trips, and hands-on activities. Students will learn about the process of bringing a prospective therapy from development at the pre-clinical stages to testing at the clinical stages. Students will write a comprehensive literature review on a topic of their choice that culminates in the identification and proposal of a novel regenerative medicine strategy that can be used to treat or evaluate a human/animal disease or injury. Students will also construct a poster that outlines their novel regenerative medicine strategy and present their poster at the annual RBC/ADS Symposium at the end of the semester.
