| 4 | Biologische evaluatie van implantaten | WBBE011-05 |
This course examines intensively the possibilities that exist to biologically evaluate an implanted medical device. This could include
the biological safety or the compatibility with blood, but also the influence of the biological environment on the functioning of the
implant. Many of the requirements (international standards) for biological safety depend on the application of the medical device.
Different insights into the choice of the various evaluation methods will be discussed. Cytotoxicity and biocompatibility are important
concepts here. |

| 5 | Biomaterials 1 | WBBE007-05 |
Introduction to the world of biomaterials, and details of the materials that are relevant in this context. This
centres around various types of materials, such as metals, polymers, and ceramics. The primary focus is on
polymers, however, since the properties of this class of materials can vary greatly, depending on their
composition/method of preparation. As a result, they have a wide range of applications. These include
macroscopic “hard” materials (implants: artificial hips, hard contact lenses), “flexible” materials (blood bags
and catheters), “soft” hydrogel (sponge-like) materials (intraocular lenses, soft contact lenses), as well as
surface coatings (antibacterial coatings) and even nanocontainers for drug delivery. The course covers the
polymer structures that are responsible for the properties of these materials, and the general methods of
synthesis. The aim is twofold, to understand the relationships between molecular structures and material
properties (hardness, biodegradability, biocompatibility) and to relate these to general applications. In
addition to a number of important polymers, such as polyurethane, polysilicones, polyesters, and
polyacrylates, the course covers various polymers with special additional functions, such as antibacterial
properties or coordinating/binding mineral salts and converting them into inorganic bodily materials. Various
other structures that play an important part in biomaterials and in medical applications are also discussed,
especially phospholipids, polypeptides, and collagen. In addition to lectures, seminars will be held in which
you will actively practice using the material to be learned. This will involve answering questions that are
representative of those used in the examination itself. The students will also be given a short group
assignment (i.e. in groups), which is worth 25% of the final mark. |

In this course students become acquainted with health care as a social field and with the ethical questions that play there. A lot of
science and technology is used in health care. The first objective of this science and technology is to improve the health status of
people. However, technology is not neutral. Reproductive technology, for example, can help infertile couples, while at the same time
it can promote the medicalisation of wanting to have children. Every deployment of technology carries a moral script that is
strengthened or counteracted by social and cultural circumstances. In the course, the assumptions, scenarios and values ​​in
specific areas, such as paediatrics, end of life, genetics, will be examined. In addition, attention is paid to philosophical questions
such as 'what is science', and 'how much certainty can we provide'? Furthermore, explicit attention is paid to research with people
and regulations in this regard. All this in the context of what are good moral arguments. |

| 17 | Practical Chemistry & Biomaterials for BME | WBBE021-05 |
Six different chemical and biomaterial-related experiments are covered, involving an examination of the
biomaterial itself and its use. One important goal is gaining experience of laboratory work, in particular.
Biodegradable polymers, antimicrobial nanoparticles, and hydrogels for controlled release are some of the
systems studied. The theoretical aspects of most of the projects carried out are dealt with in Biomaterials 1. |

| 18 | Programming for Life Sciences | WBBE022-05 |
The course aims to teach students how to solve (research related) problems using a computer. This course prepares students for all programmes where research involves repetitive and/or large scale data processing using computers.
The lectures focus on explaining new programming language constructs, some of which will be reinforced during tutorial sessions,
and the students will subsequently practice applying these concepts in the computer practicals. This includes new programming
techniques or background information and further explanation of the experimental data to be processed. During the computer
practicals, students will write small Python programs, demonstrating their ability to correctly and efficiently solve a specific problem.
TAs will provide feedback. The problems students are presented with typically involve importing, visualizing, analysing, and
processing experimental data. Where possible, assignments dovetail with the students' experience and interests, and may come from
subject fields such as biophysical chemistry, spectroscopy, reaction kinetics, MRI, fluorescence microscopy, bioinformatics,
structural biology, molecular dynamics, etc. Interesting topics suggested by students will also be considered. |

| 19 | Regenerative medicine | WBBE015-05 |
| Current society, in which people are getting older and older, is increasingly confronted with diseases related to malfunctioning or failing repair mechanisms. Examples include cardiovascular disease, diabetes, renal disease and typical degenerative diseases of the locomotor system (e.g. hips and intervertebral discs). Most of these diseases involve chronic damage and impaired tissue repair. In most cases, they can be traced back to developmental biological principles such as stem cell dysfunction. This introduction to Regenerative Medicine will pay ample attention to, inter alia, the principles of tissue development, cell and stem cell differentiation and dedifferentiation, physiological and pathophysiological repair mechanisms (inflammation, wound healing, fibrosis, rejection of implanted biomaterials) and also the application of this knowledge within a relatively new discipline of medicine: Regenerative Medicine (RM). In all cases, the guiding principle underlying RM is bolstering the body’s inherent regenerative capacity. For this reason, the course unit will pay attention to the explicitly multidisciplinary nature of RM, which is unique among the natural sciences. Within RM, there are collaborations between clinicians (patients’ treatment needs and treatment given), life scientists (problem analysis, science, biological solutions) and biochemists and polymer chemists (development of natural and polymer biomaterials for treatment, release of stem cells and other cells and signal-transduction factors). The course unit mainly focuses on the biological principles underlying regenerative medicine. |
