Certificate course on tissue engineering

Tissue engineering involves the use of combination of cells, engineering materials and suitable biochemical factors and optimised environment to develop new tissue or organs repair, improve or replace the biological functions of damaged tissue or organs with additional clinical procedures. Though the roots of tissue engineering are dated back to several centuries, the field is actively growing since last three decades. Tissue engineering is considerably being used in clinical procedures today with good and growing amount of success percentage.

Tissue engineering is being an interdisciplinary field and is being fueled by cell biology, material engineering, nanotechnology and biochemical. The development of these fields also motivating the growth in tissue engineering.

Tissue engineering is holding the promise of full filling the organ demands for transplantation and therefore helps in reducing the risks of organ rejection, immune suppression, illegal organ trading etc. Apart from regenerative medicine, tissue engineering also possess promising applications in the food sector through artificial meat production, which is becoming essential for sustainability in food production, reducing animal husbandry and related environmental issues.

Many academic and research institutions in developing countries are focusing on developing knowledge and research in the sector. The industry is also utilising the focus and started to focus more on manufacturing and supplying the essentials for accelerating the research in the sector, whereas another part of industry has started to commit them in producing tissues and organs which could trigger the clinical implementation.

We identify the subject as more important frontier field and hence we bring this course the learners who really want to be a part of the development aura which eventually take the mankind to next level.
