Topics & Instructors (Tentative)
      The following is a tentative course outline of the topics for both cellular and molecular biomechanics, and cardiovascular systems. For the biology components, participants will be exposed to a broad range of topics encompassing the cell and molecular biology, physiology, and bio fluid and solid mechanics, modeling, disease (diagnosis, treatment) of cardiovascular systems.
