Problem Statement
Tissue loss or organ failure, whether due to injury
or disease, is one of the most tragic as well as
costly problems in human health care. Tissue
engineering approaches provide solutions to these
tissue defect problems through the design and
development of systems such as implants and

biomaterials that will support and guide specific
tissue/organ repair and function. The interface
between cellular and molecular biology with
engineering is a bridge to the 21st century of
novel bioengineered systems.
