This course will introduce the brief history of film and the elements of making films. By analyzing famous film plots, students can make the films themselves and discuss together. Some professionals will be invited to discuss as well.

This course will start from the basis of tissue engineering, and focus on the applications of oral tissue engineering. The triad including cells, signals and scaffold for tissue engineering will be introduced. After that, the applications of tissue engineering construct in oral regeneration will be discussed. The class will also introduce the oral stem cell biology, and then focus on the connection between biochemistry and material sciences. Students will learn to interpret and evaluate published articles or presentations and gain a great vision on current trends of investigations in this field to lead their own research.

The wake of the pandemic has shown that we must rethink our relationship with nature, as humanity’s destruction of wild spaces and infringement on nature are implicated in the emergence of many illnesses that jump from animals to humans. Even more, it has at the same time highlighted critical issues of income inequality, access to health care and supplies, and the vital needs in education and collaborative solution. In essence, human society, despite with all its technological advances, is in jeopardy from the accelerating decline of the Earth’s natural life-support systems, and the health of the ecosystems on which we and other species depend on is deteriorating more rapidly than ever. A fundamental societal revolution is urgently needed to preserve the health of populations of living beings, communities, and ecosystems, so that humans, the world, and Earth can sustain itself on a long-term basis. Through a series of lecture and discussion forums with world experts, this course the aims to identify the crisis we are facing, and convey its multidimensionalism (health/sanitary, social, economic, political, ecological, technological, and ideological), and that as a species we should recognize and address this system problem to build bridges and exchanges between science, technology, the public, and politics. More importantly, the course aims to stimulate the students to rethink: to do what we must and what we can, within the constraints of our circumstances, and no matter how small, to change our behavior and lifestyles, which is quintessential to implement coherent and sustainable biodiversity, public health, and education policies on both local and global scales, with goals to improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth and technological advancement.

International health research practicum seeks to provide students the opportunity to develop and use the knowledge and skills acquired in the academic program in a public health agency or other environment in which a public health function is performed.

Nowadays, Python has been increasingly become one of the top programming languages that can be used in a variety of fields. Especially in medical field, many tasks from data analysis and machine learning, deep learning have been resolved efficiently by using Python. This course will introduce basic ideas of Python programming language and apply it to medical data i.e., electronic health records, medical imaging.
