Course Objectives
Students will be expected to master the concepts of advanced biophysics and biomechanics at the cellular and molecular (protein) levels in biomedical systems. The goal will be to teach students advanced concepts of protein structure and function, protein/molecular physics, cellular function, and cellular mechanics using theoretical modeling and experimental techniques for applications in biomedical systems. Students will also learn the advanced theories in molecular simulations and how computational instrumentation can be used to solve complex problems related to protein and cellular functions.
Topical Outline
The topics that will be covered include: 1. Introduction to Multiscale Biomechanics 2. Molecular Mechanics and Biophysics 3. Cell Membrane Biophysics 4. Cellular Mechanics 5. Multiscale Mechanical Modeling 6. Experimental Mechanics in Multiscale Biomechanical Systems
