	HST 505 Lab in Cellular and Molecular Sciences This is a three-week long course offered in January primarily for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in engineering with minimal biological experience. The course was developed by Drs. Morgan, Toner, and Yarmush. The course has five modules, including a cell culture module that includes several lectures in the use of microsystems in biology. HST 541J Quantitative Physiology: Cells and Tissues This is a cell biophysics course with laboratory exercises to illustrate the fundamental concepts covered in lectures. Microfluidic gradient generator to study chemotaxis (Core Project 3) has been adopted by this course as the laboratory exercise. This course is taken by approximately 120 graduate and undergraduate students at MIT. Twelve stations have been created with microfluidic chambers, infusion pumps, and image analysis modules to perform and analysis diffusion experiments in microenvironments with and without cells. This lab exercise is among the VaNTH Educational ERC activities at MIT. HST 090 Human Pathology Dr. Toner delivers a Frontiers lecture entitled "Tiny Living Tools" in this medical school course. HST 588 Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Dr. Toner gives a two-hour lecture entitled "The Merger of Microsystems Technology and Tissue Engineering." 6.152J Microelectronics Fabrication Technology This is a combination laboratory and lecture course offered at MIT on all aspects of microfabrication technology. The course includes ten four-hour laboratory sessions conducted in the MTL. A laboratory-only version of the course is offered three to four times per year.
