Course Name: Genetic Engineering: Theory And Application

Course abstract

In the current MOOCs course I have put effort to briefly discuss about biotechnology, its scope and impact on human life with several customized products. The Development of technology and generation of product has multiple steps and understanding these steps are being covered in this course with a discussion of biotechnology application at the end. By the end of this course, student will be able to understand following aspects of biotechnology: 1. Basic metabolic pathways and their regulation. 2. Microbial growth kinetics with an emphasis on fermentation 3. Basic molecular biology tools used in biotechnology. 4. Basic methodology for product recovery and analysis.

Very very thankful to NPTEL why are giving opportunity to me... and special thanks to Respected Dr. Vishal Trivedi sir... his explanation topics covered to all topics and very clear....


The course mentor explain the topics in detail and provided lecture notes are sufficient to understand the syllabus. I am completely satisfied with this course content and with our mentor. I am thankful to NPTEL for given notification timely. Every thing is very good.


I am attending classes on NPTEL since very long just for knowledge, not seriously getting into the Certificate thing and into assignments.But in this course instructor; Dr. Vishal Trivedi took classes so well and with comfort , that I thought I should have certificate for this course as memory. He gave Practical insights too of his theoretical lecture at the end of his video, which I liked the most. I would love to be part of any other course with Dr. Vishal Trivedi.Thankyou Very much !
