Course Overview
This course on synthetic biology covers all aspects of computer science, design, biochemistry, genetic engineering, engineering, and biology. This course brings all these subjects on the same platform and teaches you creative methods to solve your daily life issues in an innovative way. It covers the past, present, and upcoming scope of synthetic biology.
This course begins with a short introduction about itself and slowly changes its direction towards interesting and challenging concepts that occur in our routine. This fifteen-week advanced level course will help a candidate to design a personal biological regulatory circuit and its application in real life.
This course also covers the current construction being done by the biologists so that one can solve complex situations faced by him/her in real life. Few examples of such construction that this course intends to cover are toggle switches, basic oscillators, bandpass filters, and more circuits designed by them. The students can pursue this course in two tracks, namely, paid and free. In the paid mode which is the verified track, students will be given unlimited access to the course and a certificate of completion whereas in the free version which is called the audit track, they will be provided access to the course only for a limited period.
