Department of Physics, Vivekanand Education Society’s College of Arts, Science & Commerce (Autonomous) also known as VESASC is pleased to announce the commencement of India’s first Space Biology course with hands-on training<\/strong> from the winter of 2022.<\/p>

About the space biology course:<\/strong><\/p>

The 2-credit course is a brief comprehensive study of the field of space biology. The course is
developed and coordinated by Dr. Santosh Bhaskaran who is one of the pioneers of space
biology research in India. The contents of the course are as follows.<\/p>

Introduction to space biology<\/strong>
Gravity<\/strong>
Newton\u2019s law of gravitation, Concept of free-fall, Levels of gravity: Micro, hypo and
hyper gravity<\/p>

Tools and techniques to alter gravity<\/strong>
Drop tower, Parabolic flights, Sounding rockets, Space shuttles and space stations, Clinostats
and bioreactors, Water immersion techniques, Long-term bed rest, Head-down and head-up
tilt, Centrifuges<\/p>

Effects of altered gravity on biological systems<\/strong>
Cells and microbes, Plants, Animals, Humans<\/p>

Some Biophysical techniques<\/strong>
Spectroscopy: UV-Visible, Fluorescence, FTIR
Microscopes: Compound microscope, Electron microscope (SEM, TEM)
Electrophoresis<\/p>

Some Biochemical techniques<\/strong>
Protein estimation, Carbohydrate content, Enzyme assays, Chromatography
Potential Applications
Agriculture, Biotechnology, Medicine<\/p>

Additional leaning<\/strong>
Development of instruments to simulate microgravity, Observations of effects of altered
gravity on biological systems in real time<\/p>
