DRUG DELIVERY (BME 4985/6086; CHEG4995/5395) ; Spring Semester
Lecture Time and Location: M; 6:00-8:30am; Msb 215

Course Description:  This course includes two main issues: 1) physiological barriers and drug transport; 2) design and characterization of drug delivery systems. The first section of this course introduces the mechanisms of drug delivery at the levels of cell, tissue and whole body from the viewpoint of engineering. The second one describes the rational design of various drug delivery systems and emphasizes biomolecular nanomedicines. Case studies of cancer therapy and tissue engineering are described to illustrate the functions of drug deliery systems. The specific topics include:
1. Delivery barriers at the level of nucleus and cell;
2. Delivery barriers at the level of tissue;
3. Delivery barriers at the level of whole body (pharmacokinetics);
4. Preparation/characterization of polymeric delivery systems for local delivery;
5. Preparation/characterization of nanomedicines for systemic delivery.

TRANSFER OPERATIONS-1 (CHEG 3123); Fall Semester
Lecture Time and Location: M. W. F.; 10:00-10:50 am.; CLAS110;

Textbook: Transport Processes and Separation Process Principles (Christie John Geankoplis; Fourth Edition)     Syllabus

Course Description:    The subject of transport phenomena includes three topics:  momentum transfer, heat transfer and mass transfer.  In this class, we focus on momentum transfer and heat transfer. Mass transfer will be introduced in the following semester. Although this course is not aimed to teach mathematics, we are going to introduce various mathematical topics that are closely related to our class.
