Certificate course on nanobiotechnology

About programme

The era of nanotechnology is ever growing from the day it was first addressed by Dr. Richard Feynman in his speech "There's a plenty of room at the bottom". There are more innovations coming out of nanotechnology research and is being applied dimensionally in varied sectors. The multiple functionalities of nano-objects and relatively lesser production cost making them centre of attraction in many scientific disciplines. Bio sector too is not exempted by the influence of nanotechnology.

The performance of nano in biotechnology, precisely nanobiotechnology is ever expanding. From providing excellent scope for developing cutting edge technology tools in life saving medicine to remediate and to protect environment, nanobiotechnology is becoming irreplaceable part of development.

We identify the subject as more important frontier field and hence we bring this course the learners who really want to explore the fundamentals of nanobiotechnology.
