Course Overview

The Chemistry of Life course has been systematically planned in order to develop creative approaches within the candidates. The confluence of knowledge from multi-disciplinary fields empowers the candidates with the valuable skill to generate new ideas in the intersection of various science fields.

Through the Chemistry of Life course, candidates get to understand the integration of biology and chemistry. Through detailed pioneering studies, they also get to analyse and reflect on how to control biological processes and events through chemical means. Detailed and pattern proof idea generation techniques, enlisted as a part of the course, give candidates a head-start with their research. Skills such as idea generation, drastically increase after the completion of the course.

As a part of the course, candidates get to learn almost everything that is required for an effective & meaningful idea generation in the field of chemistry and biology. Very broad multi-disciplinary knowledge such as about fluorescent molecules and proteins for tracking in biology to ideas helpful to fight against cancer and viruses, ideas for fooling fats and sugars, helps candidates develop a pattern proof idea. The mentioned techniques are useful in generating other aspects of life as well.
