The online Interactomics: Basics & Applications certification by Swayam will thus help the applicants to develop a deep level understanding of interactomics.

The Animal biotechnology certification course takes the candidates through the fundamentals of Animal biotechnology. The course equips the candidates with the latest knowledge in animal biotechnology. It is a field within biotechnology in which professionals use applications of molecular biology to genetically engineer animals in order to enhance their suitability for applications in agriculture and pharmaceutical industries. 

The Animal biotechnology certification by Swayam and Mercy College, Palakkad aims to get the students familiarized with the scientific methods involved in animal biotechnology. The course offers practical sessions along with theory on biotechnology as part of Professionalization. The online course is ideal for teachers, students as well as anyone who wishes to delve into different aspects of molecular biology. 

The Animal biotechnology online course takes the candidates through the latest advancements in gene expression, sequencing animal genomes, and metabolic profiling of animal cells. The candidates will learn about Genome editing technologies (CRISPR-Cas systems, TALENS, Zinc Finger Nucleases) which can develop genetic variations in animals. These applications can create healthier animals, enhance agricultural production, and prevent diseases. The course in a nutshell is ideal for those who want to specialize in the field of biotechnology.

According to scientific estimates, the world population will cross 10 billion by the middle of the century. There is a growing demand for food and energy, but the supply cannot match it. For this purpose, the process of metabolic engineering of bioproduction can be helpful to produce essential nutrients for survival. This is what the Metabolic Engineering online course explores. 

The candidates will use the Design, Build, Test, Learn techniques to design and create metabolic pathways suitable for the production of a specific product. Professor Pinkari Sar and Professor Amit Ghosh from IIT Kharagpur will teach candidates the basic concepts, scope, and applications of metabolic engineering in the Metabolic Engineering training. 

The Metabolic Engineering certification course also offers a hands-on approach to improving learning. Candidates will be working on MATLAB to construct metabolic pathways and networks. Also, candidates will receive eight assignments throughout the course, and the course instructors will grade these assessments. Finally, candidates can choose to appear for the paid exam and get the certification. 

The Cell Culture Technologies online course is an 8 weeks program offered by  Swayam, an Initiative by the Education Ministry, Government of India. The course provides a quick overview of how "animal cell culture technologies" have bolstered biomedical research from fundamental research to current medication development. 

Animal cell culture was invented in the first decade of the nineteenth century. Since then, there has been great progress in this sector. The Cell Culture Technologies training will assist researchers in appreciating the advances made over the previous century and in setting up cell culture facilities on their own. The course gets industrial support from the Biotechnology industry, Biomedical industries, Drug-discovery industry.

The Cell Culture Technologies syllabus will be an informal method to explain the fascinating paths of biomedical where cell culture is a highly "powerful instrument" for non-biologists. The syllabus includes the biology of cultured cells, safety protocols, aseptic techniques, culture vessels, cell separation, cytotoxicity & cryo-preservation, etc.

An Introduction to Cardiovascular Fluid Mechanics certification course is based on chemical engineering subject. It is an elective study spread across four weeks. Learners can pursue a course completion certificate. For that, they need to complete the course, submit all assignments, and register for an end-term assessment by paying a nominal fee.

An Introduction to Cardiovascular Fluid Mechanics certification syllabus employs a total of four learning modules. Learners can proceed to the next learning module after completing the topics covered previously. They will experiment with the mechanics that supply liquids within the human body through simulated tools. It covers topics such as rheology, pulsatile flows, morphology, solid and fluid mechanics.

An Introduction to Cardiovascular Fluid Mechanics training is developed by IIT Guwahati. Students will learn under Dr Raghvendra Gupta, an associate professor of the Chemical Engineering department at IIT Guwahati. Moreover, biomedical companies such as Johnson and Johnson and GE Healthcare offer industry support to the course. 

Legal and Regulatory Issues in Biotechnology certification is an online programme of 4 weeks. This programme is issued by Swayam, in accordance with the curriculum being developed by IIT Kharagpur, and NPTEL. The main course aim is to identify the confluence of different factors like scientific, commercial, and others that are a driving force for the biotechnology industry. This certification course is elective in nature and caters to postgraduate, and undergraduate students.

Legal and Regulatory Issues in Biotechnology training helps students understand the core concepts of biotechnology that actually permits the students to learn to use them in their academic, corporate, or their careers in the government sector.
