SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the pathway for undergraduate physics majors interested in transitioning to graduate bioengineering with a focus on tissue engineering and in-vitro meat production. Key recommendations include taking specific math courses such as Vectors & Matrices, Ordinary Differential Equations, Discrete Mathematics, and Linear Algebra. Additionally, participants emphasize the importance of biology and physiology classes, as well as hands-on experience in a lab that conducts cell culture. Prospective students are encouraged to explore graduate programs that specialize in muscle tissue and in-vitro meat development.

PREREQUISITES
  • Vectors & Matrices
  • Ordinary Differential Equations
  • Discrete Mathematics
  • Cell Culture Techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Research graduate programs in bioengineering with a focus on muscle tissue and in-vitro meat development.
  • Learn about advanced cell culture techniques and their applications in tissue engineering.
  • Explore molecular biology concepts relevant to bioengineering.
  • Review current projects and entrance requirements on graduate school websites.
USEFUL FOR

Undergraduate physics majors, aspiring biophysicists, and students interested in bioengineering and tissue engineering, particularly in the context of in-vitro meat production.

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.
