Biomicrofluidics

NPTEL is offering online course for undergraduate/ postgraduate students in Biomicrofluidics.

About the course:

• Biomicrofluidics is an interdisciplinary domain that fuses micro fluidics/ nano fluidics with the science of living systems, having outstanding applications in multifarious domain ranging from medical diagnostics to targeted drug delivery.
• It is an emerging field of research which today, is not only helping in the understanding of diseases from an engineering perspective, but also aiding in the development of inexpensive, portable, diagnostic platforms that can predict whether a person is carrying a disease, even from a small drop of body fluid, at the remotest of locations.
• Biomicrofluidics, primarily rests on the pillars of cellular and molecular biology and micro scale fluid mechanics.

Course Layout:

• Week 1: Introduction to Biomicrofluidics
• Week 2: Surface tension driven flows
• Week 3: Micro fluidic cell culture
• Week 4: Organ-on-a-chip

Duration: 04 weeks
Enrollment Ends: September 21, 2020
