AI Thread Summary
Undergraduate physics majors interested in biophysics and tissue engineering, particularly in-vitro meat production, should focus on essential math and physics courses for graduate studies in bioengineering. Key recommended courses include Vectors & Matrices, Ordinary Differential Equations, Discrete Mathematics, and Linear Algebra. Additionally, taking biology and physiology classes, along with gaining lab experience in cell culture, is advised. Prospective students should explore graduate programs that specialize in muscle tissue or in-vitro meat development, as many schools provide detailed information on current projects and entrance requirements on their websites.

I'm an undergraduate physics major right now but I may go for biophysics because I am very interested in tissue engineering, specifically in-vitro meat production. I may go to graduate school for bioengineering and I was wondering a few things:
-What do I absolutely need to learn? Including which math and physics courses. I have no problem self studying some stuff.
-What schools have graduate programs in the areas of muscle tissue or in-vitro meat development?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I'm a biochemistry major/math minor and I've been looking into bioengineering grad school as well... for non-engineering undergrads, most grad schools recommend these math courses:

Vectors & Matrices
Ordinary Differential Equations
Discrete Mathematics
Linear Algebrait's helpful to browse different grad school web pages, they usually have a lot of information on current projects and typical entrance requirements...
 
I would really recommend taking a few biology and/or physiology classes, and working in a lab that does cell culture. A molecular biology class wouldn't hurt, either.
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
