Faculty Development Program on Biology

About the Program

Objectives of the Program	To familiarize with basic biological concepts and their engineering applications. To enable the understanding of bio-design principles to create novel devices and structures. To provide an appreciation of how biological systems can be re-designed as substitute products for natural systems. To develop an inter-disciplinary vision of biological engineering.
Expected Outcome of the Program	To identify potential interdisciplinary research areas and collaboration opportunities. To equip faculty to indulge in teaching biological concepts. Mimic biological systems to develop efficient real-time applications in healthcare, agricultural and environmental sectors. Create novel devices and structures using bio-design principles and apply for collaborative grants.
