Course Overview
The Biostatistics and Design of Experiments programme is an 8-week elective programme. The course is curated by IIT Madras and is offered at the UG and PG level. The programme falls under the category of Biological Sciences and Bioengineering. It is AITCE approved FDP course with plenty of industry support from particular Biotechnology, biopharma and agriculture companies.
Professor Mukesh Doble teaches the Biostatistics and Design of Experiments course by Swayam. It is focussed on the various applications of statistics in pharmacy, medicine and a number of other topics in Biology. The course syllabus covers some essential topics in Statistics such as sampling and distribution of data, regression analysis, tests of significance, design of experiments, etc.
The Biostatistics and Design of Experiments training is relevant for all students pursuing either a UG/PG degree in Biotechnology or its allied fields. The course lectures are provided online via video tutorials, and internal assignments are also offered for self-assessment. If the candidate wants to get certified, they can also sit for the certification examination at the end of the course.
