Tissue Engineering

One bioengineering-related field that I have much interest in is tissue engineering. I find it fascinating that we are able to construct artificial organs in some cases for patients who need organ transplants. A possibility that would have seemed completely unfeasible only a decade or two ago is presently a rising field, and I would love to be involved in the engineering and design of an artificial organ that an actually be implanted into a body and used to carry out the complex functions necessary for life. Bladders have already been engineered in labs and successfully implanted into bodies, and it would be great to work on perfecting this process and possibly help the field to grow to other vital organs as well.
