For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmThis course is a project-based introduction to manipulating and characterizing cells and biological molecules using microfabricated tools. It is designed for first year undergraduate students. In the first half of the term, students perform laboratory exercises designed to introduce (1) the design, manufacture, and use of microfluidic channels, (2) techniques for sorting and manipulating cells and biomolecules, and (3) making quantitative measurements using optical detection and fluorescent labeling In the second half of the term, students work in small groups to design and test a microfluidic device to solve a real-world problem of their choosing. Includes exercises in written and oral communication and team building.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Health-Sciences-and-Technology/HST-410JSpring-2007/CourseHome/index.htmFreeman, DennisAranyosi, AlexanderGray, Martha2007-11-26T11:24:07-05:00HST.410J6.07Jen-USElectrical Engineering and Computer ScienceHealth Services/Allied Health/Health Sciences, Generalplasma bondingcoulter countercasting PDMScomputer simulation of neural behaviorcytometry techniquesexperimental designcell trapsMATLAB data analysislaminar flowmodels of diffusionmicrofabricationdiffusionosmosismicrofluidicscell sortingoptical imaging of cellsrapid prototypinglithographymicrochipscell manipulationHealth Sciences and TechnologyMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmThis course will show how information technologies (IT) shape and redefine the health care marketplace. Students will learn how IT enhances medical care through: 1) improved economies of scale, 2) greater technical efficiencies in the delivery of care, 3) advanced tools for patient education and self-care, 4) network-integrated decision support tools for clinicians, and 5) opportunities for e-health delivery over the internet. Students will work in interdisciplinary teams to design an innovative solution to a current or future health care problem. Students' proposed solutions will draw upon understanding of tools and principles acquired and will be presented as an application design during the final days of the course.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Health-Sciences-and-Technology/HST-921Spring-2007/CourseHome/index.htmLocke, Steven E.
