Purpose of class
For biomaterials, it is important to understand the unknown interactions that occur at the interface between living organisms and artificial materials at the molecular and cellular levels. Biomaterials are indispensable for artificial organs, drug delivery systems, gene therapy, and regenerative medicine, and further research and development will be required in the future. In this course, students learn the basics of biomaterials based on biochemistry and polymer chemistry in order to gain fundamental knowledge in the rapidly developing field of biomaterials.
Course description
　The 20th century was a time of remarkable progress in biomaterial research. The use of artificial materials to function as substitutes for living tissues has been fraught with difficulties. However, the research and development of various materials, including artificial organs, has increased the life span of mankind and greatly changed our lives.
　In this class, we will teach the fundamentals of biomaterials from the viewpoints of chemistry, biology, and materials engineering.
Goals and objectives
  1. Understand the linear notation of organic compounds and the names of functional groups, and be able to write actual chemical formulas and chemical reaction equations in structural form.
  2. Students can draw arrows for the movement of electrons in organic chemistry. Can describe stereostructures and chiral carbons.
  3. Can write reactions (nucleophilic reactions, eliminations) of organic compounds.
  4. Understand the types and properties of biomaterials derived from living organisms.

Evaluation method and criteria
Evaluation will be based on in-class exercises and quizzes (30%), a final examination (40%), and a report and presentation on biomaterials (30%).
Approximately 60% achievement corresponds to understanding the basic content of organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, and biochemistry covered in the course. Approximately 80% achievement corresponds to the ability to explain these topics using one’s own words and figures. Full achievement (100%) corresponds to the ability to express one’s own opinions on issues related to biomaterials based on the knowledge acquired in this course.
