ADVANCES IN TISSUE ENGINEERING

From hybrid artificial organs to surgical approaches, leading national researchers in the field of tissue engineering will discuss their latest work at the "Advances in Tissue Engineering" short course at Rice University on Aug. 12-15, 2009.

The meeting is the fifteenth annual short course offerred to researchers and clinicians in tissue engineering by Rice's Center for Excellence in Tissue Engineering and is a forum for researchers to learn about the newest developments and challenges in the science and technology of replacing damaged or diseased body parts and restoring function. Dr. Antonios G. Mikos, the J.W. Cox Professor of Bioengineering and Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Director of Center for Excellence in Tissue Engineering, and Director of J.W. Cox Laboratory for Biomedical Engineering is the Course Director.
