# Cell Biomechanics

## BMED-4550

This is an undergraduate/graduate course on the mechanics of biopolymers, cell cytoskeleton, cell membrane, the whole cell, and multicellular structures in the context of the modulation of cell function by mechanical stresses. Topics include state-of-the-art experimental techniques in cell biomechanics, and cutting-edge research in stem cell mechanobiology, cell motility, collective cell behavior, neurite growth, osteocyte sensing, cardiovascular diseases, and immunology.
