INTRODUCTION
The horizon of modern biosciences and bioengineering are rapidly
expanding due development of various new biophysical manipulation
and measurement techniques.
These advances has allowed
experimentalists to ask and answer questions not even dreamed of
earlier. This course is aimed at providing an overview of the diversity of
modern biophysical experimental techniques used to study of biological
systems ranging from molecular to the cellular levels.
BROAD OBJECTIVES
The course is intended for faculty/students teaching and research
institutes, who seek an introduction to modern biophysical experimental
techniques. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the course, basic
knowledge of physics and mathematics is expected but strong attempts
will be made to give an intuitive understanding of the mathematics and
physics involved.
COURSE CONTENTS
The topics covered in this course include fluorescence microscopy,
confocal microscopy, NMR spectroscopy, Fluorescence Resonance
Energy Transfer (FRET), Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS),
optical tweezers and bio-AFM. This course also involves lab visit to
various laboratories of IIT Bombay and possibly to nearby institutes
which have been using these modern biophysical techniques.
VENUE FOR CLASSES
Course will be held at Seminar Hall, Van Vihar Guest House, IIT Bombay.
LECTURE NOTES
Hard copies of the lecture notes/slides will be made available to participants
at the end of lecture/presentation.
COURSE EVALUATION:
Successful participants would be awarded ‘Certificate of Participation’ at the
end of the course.
ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation on twin sharing basis may become available in the student
hostels/ CETTM Hostel for student participants and in the Institute Guest
house/ CETTM Hostel for other participants on advance payment basis
subject to availability.
