Course Overview

Physics Of Biological Systems Program is an online learning course offered by swayam a program launched by the government of India. In this course, the candidate will understand the physics of natural frameworks with the assistance of hypothetical devices with models from assorted areas of biology. The course will offer a basic understanding of the viscosity and Navier stokes equation and fluid flows in biology with the theory and phenomenon of depletion forces.

The Physics Of Biological Systems Online Course offers the students in-depth knowledge of polymers and biopolymers, persistence length, and entropic elasticity with introduction to biophysics, spatial and temporal scales. The course will deal with topics related to scallop theorem and bacterial flagella along with cooperative binding and hemoglobin.

The Physics Of Biological Systems Training course instructor will be a well-experienced faculty from IIT Bombay Professor Mithun Mitra to guide the candidate all throughout the course. The duration of the program is of 12 weeks with the various assignments and the course will also provide the course certification by the end of the course with the logo of NPTEL and IIT Bombay.
