Bioreactor for Tissue Engineering, Team Bioreactor Week 1 – January 26 to February 1, 2007 Team Members: Karen Chen – Team leader Richard Bamberg – Communications Rachel Mosher – BSAC Dustin Gardner – BWIG Client: Dr. Susan Thibeault Dept. of Otolaryngology, UW Medical School Phone: 608/263-6751, Email: [email protected] Advisor: Brenda Ogle Assistant Professor/ Dept. of Biomedical Engineering Phone: 608/265-8267, Email: [email protected] Problem Statement The team has not yet meet with the client. Thus, the needs and the goals of the clients have not been established. Restatement of Team Goals A brief statement was given online about the team goals, which will be further improved in the future. The main goal of this project is to develop a bioreactor that will allow the study of fibroblast and cell response to mechanical and vibratory forces. This bioreactor will need to allow cell culture of the cells while undergoing controlled vibratory and stress paradigms. Individual Goals Dustin Research on bioreactor background, set up the website, take the group photo if possible Karen Research on bioreactor background, send out the progress report Rachel Research on bioreactor background, make rearrangements with the BSAC persons Richard Research on bioreactor background, send out contacting emails between the client and the team Summary of Accomplishment • The team has met together during class time and exchanged contact information. •Richard has sent out emails to the client to set up a meeting time. This will take place this Friday (Feb. 2) • All team members have researched on the bioreactor background to get a better understanding of this subject.• The team has exchanged schedules to determine a meeting time outside of class. Statement of Team Goals The team should meet with the client on Friday (Feb. 2) to obtain more information on the needs and the goals of the client. Further background research is also needed. The team should arrange a meeting time outside (if possible) to discuss on the preliminary product design specification (PDS). Difficulties The main difficulty encountered this week is to find a team member that would best fit the BSAC schedule. Currently, none of the team members could make the BSAC meetings.
