This course applies principles of continuum mechanics to a broad range of biomechanical phenomena. The topics include: introduction to cell biology, fundamentals of solid mechanics, mechanosensitive machineries in cells, mechanotransduction, cell mechanics, developmental biomechanics, etc. Experimental methods for measuring molecular mechanics, cell adhesion, migration and contraction, and tissue biomechanics will also be discussed. Most recent literature will be used as discussion materials to connect theories with research.
