Expertises for training in regenerative medicine. In addition to the basic and biological sciences, engineers will benefit from experience in the rudiments of anatomy, histology, and surgery; a background in custom design, manufacture, and fabrication; and a working understanding of materials and chemical engineering.
| Area | Examples | Impact |
| Biology | Cell biology Cellular mechanics Physiology, with lab Chemical kinetics, with modeling | Already at the core of many bioengineering curricula Provide an essential foundation for work in regenerative medicine |
| Anatomy/histology | Gross anatomy, with dissection Histopathology | Provide tactile experience working with living tissues and allow firsthand observation of tissue architecure |
| Physical and tactile skills | Principles of large-scale mammalian cell culture Introduction to surgical technique | Teach the manual techniques required for human-scale organ research |
| Technical design and development | Introduction to fabrication, with lab Bioreactor design, with lab Biomedical sensor design, with lab Introduction to biomaterials Biomaterials processing Large-scale cell culture/bioprocessing | Provide a much-needed technical basis for invention and custom fabrication |
