I was the teaching assistant for the Tissue Engineering Technologies (BME483/583) course through the joint biomedical engineering department at UNC and NC State. In this course, the students go through the process of growing living skin equivalents (LSEs) by growing a co-culture of human dermal fibroblasts and human keratinocytes on a collagen gel matrix..
