Certificate Course in Bio-Physics

Certificate Course in Bio-Physics | CC Biophysics

The Certificate Course in Bio-Physics bridges biology and physics by applying physical principles to biological systems. Over four months, students study how physical forces and parameters affect living cells, investigate electrical properties of neurons, and analyze effects such as temperature changes on cells. This interdisciplinary programme nurtures analytical thinking and prepares students for research-oriented projects in biophysics.
