Course Overview
The Biointerface Engineering training programme is an 8-week course curated by IIT Guwahati. It falls under the Bioengineering and Biological Sciences and Bioengineering category. Both undergraduate and postgraduate-level students can take the course, and they must either have or be pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in any engineering discipline.
The Biointerface Engineering online course aims to introduce a chemical approach to biomedical products and applications. Several vital topics in surface chemistry will be covered, like interactions with biomacromolecules and the role interfacial phenomena play in the behaviour of surface biomolecules. Professor Lalit M. Pandey, a reputed course instructor from IIT Guwahati, teaches the programme.
The Biointerface Engineering certificate programme is an online course. Plenty of video tutorials, study and reference material are available to the candidates completely free of cost. The candidates will have access to graded tests and assignments and can also sit for an end-term examination to get certified.
