Tissue Engineering: A Primer with Laboratory Demonstrations

Tissue Engineering: A Primer with Laboratory Demonstrations concisely covers the fundamental basics of tissue engineering. A series of simple, low-cost, and easy-to-implement laboratory modules are included in each chapter, along with experimental results with actual images and data, and a set of questions and discussion topics for each laboratory exercise. The textbook is appropriate for upper-undergraduate and graduate-level courses in cell and tissue engineering. The inclusion of images and data for all laboratory exercises also makes the book a valuable tool for scientists and engineers to learn the concepts in a hands-on and visual manner and lay a foundation to build their experiments towards their research and commercial development.

About the Author

Jeong-Yeol Yoon received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Chemical Engineering from Yonsei University, Seoul (South Korea) in 1992, 1994, and 1999. His dissertation advisor was Dr. Woo-Sik Kim, and his co-advisor was Dr. Jung-Hyun Kim, while he worked primarily on polymer colloids. Dr. Yoon received his second Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 2004, working on lab-on-a-chip and biomaterials under the guidance of Dr. Robin L. Garrell. He joined the faculty at the University of Arizona in August 2004 and currently holds split home appointments in the Department of Biomedical Engineering (primary) and Department of Biosystems Engineering (secondary). Dr. Yoon also has joint appointments in Chemistry&Biochemistry and BIO5 Institute. He is also Associate Head for Graduate Affairs in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, starting from July 2018. He is currently directing the Biosensors Lab. Dr. Yoon is a member of IBE, ASABE, SPIE, BMES, and ACS and was Councillor-at-Large for IBE for the 2010 and 2011 calendar years. He was the President of the Institute of Biological Engineering (IBE) in 2015. Dr. Yoon currently serves as Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Biological Engineering (the official journal of IBE), Associate Editor for Biosensors and Bioelectronics (Elsevier), and Editorial Board Member for Scientific Reports (Springer Nature) and Micromachines (MDPI). Dr. Yoon is the author of the book Introduction to Biosensors: From Electric Circuits to Immunosensors , Second Edition (Springer, 2016)
