Fields, Forces and Flows in Biological Systems

20.330J · Biological Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering · Undergraduate · Spring 2007

Prof. Jongyoon Han, Prof. Scott Manalis

MIT · Tier 1

This course introduces the basic driving forces for electric current, fluid flow, and mass transport, plus their application to a variety of biological systems. Basic mathematical and engineering tools will be introduced, in the context of biology and physiology. Various electrokinetic phenomena are also considered as an example of coupled nature of chemical-electro-mechanical driving forces. Applications include transport in biological tissues and across membranes, manipulation of cells and bi…
