Course Overview
Ever wondered what biomaterial is? It refers to any material that is synthetic or natural, which replaces a particular body part. Over the years, biomaterial has been lauded for improving human health and bringing back the function of a living organ or tissue. The Medical Biomaterials course by Swayam dives deep into its functionalities and benefits.
Besides, the Medical Biomaterials certification syllabus covers vital concepts like the history of biomaterials, mechanical properties, restorability, analytical instruments, classifications, applications, drug delivery systems, and the like. The course curriculum also discusses how the material is biocompatible and does not cause any adverse reaction to the host.
Taught by Prof. Mukesh Doble from the prestigious IIT Madras, the Medical Biomaterials online course is excellent for candidates who have pursued UG/PG in Biotech or research scientists in biotechnology, metallurgy, material science, along with dentists, clinicians, and the like. Interested candidates will also benefit from acquiring the program certificates in acing their recruitment rounds.
