Course Overview
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.
