Actin-rich processes (light blue) in a transformed fibroblast protruding through extracellular matrix. The yellow spheres represent the centroids of beads added to the matrix to allow measurement of forces generated by the cell as it migrates through the 3D environment.

Course Description
This seminar-format course provides an in-depth presentation and
discussion of how engineering and biological approaches can be combined
to solve problems in science and technology, emphasizing integration of
biological information and methodologies with engineering analysis,
synthesis, and design. Emphasis is placed on molecular mechanisms
underlying cellular processes, including signal transduction, gene
expression networks, and functional responses.
