Engaging Teachers with
Mechanobiology Education
Resources to help teach cell biology, biophysics, biochemistry, engineering and biomedical technologies
Access middle, high school and undergraduate-level classroom modules from CEMB members and participants in the summer Research Experience for Teachers (RET) around the interdisciplinary research of mechanobiology.
Other resources are collected from across the Internet to provide educators with a variety of interdisciplinary teaching resources.
