  • Bioengineering and the Pursuit of Longevity

    Credits: 8 PDH

    PDH Course Description:

    This course explores the emerging field of bioengineering as it relates to human longevity and the extension of healthspan. It examines scientific, technological, and ethical dimensions of efforts to slow aging, repair biological systems, and enhance the resilience of the human body. 

    Engineers, biomedical scientists, and healthcare professionals will gain a comprehensive understanding of how bioengineering innovations, from genetic engineering and regenerative medicine to nanotechnology and biomaterials, are converging to redefine the boundaries of human life expectancy. The course also addresses critical societal, legal, and philosophical implications of pursuing longevity through technological means.

    Topics:

    Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

    • Explain the biological mechanisms of aging and how bioengineering seeks to intervene in them.
    • Evaluate bioengineering strategies such as tissue engineering, gene editing, synthetic biology, and nanomedicine for their potential role in extending lifespan.
    • Understand the applications of biomaterials and biocompatible devices in age-related disease treatment.
    • Assess the role of data science, AI, and biotechnology integration in advancing longevity research.
    • Discuss ethical, regulatory, and societal challenges tied to bioengineering approaches for human longevity.
