Teaching
This course is an introduction to the area of pharmaceutics and the industrial manufacture of pharmaceutical dosage forms. In this course the student will learn aspects of the preparation of a successful dosage form, from the design of the dosage form with respect to the route of administration, to the large scale manufacture of the dosage form in a sterile and clean environment. The content covers aspects of chemical kinetics, physical chemistry, physiology, cell biology, mass and heat transfer, and fluid dynamics and how they relate to the manufacture of effective dosage forms.
Co-taught with Dr. S. Waldman, the course is designed to provide fundamental background concepts in a range of biomedical engineering areas. Topics covered include biomaterials, biomechanics, transport phenomena in living systems, and tissue engineering.
CHEE 872: Polymer Biomaterials
This is an advanced biomaterials course focusing on polymers used in biomedical applications. Topics covered include composition-property relationships of polymers, the host implantation response, controlled release mechanisms, biodegradation or polymers, and cell-polymer interactions.
