Molecular Biology and Genetics

All modern biotechnological products are based on the accumulation of knowledge in molecular biology and genetic engineering applications. The "Acıbadem Healthcare Group" companies, one of the leading groups in our country in the field of health, offer students interdisciplinary observation, research and application opportunities thanks to its medical school, vocational school, hospitals and advanced clinical laboratories such as genetics, molecular genetics, biochemistry, microbiology and stem cell laboratories using advanced technologies. The Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics is an important starting point for training students as scientists who invent, research, develop and apply, thanks to this driving force of science.

In our country, there are limited experts in the field of Molecular Biology and Genetics. The department aims to train researchers who aim to exchange information and cooperate among universities in a globalizing world of science. For this purpose, students are encouraged to participate in national and international congresses by supporting their studies and experiences abroad through international student exchange programs. Students are motivated to continue their postgraduate programs at important universities in America and Europe, and the postgraduate programs opened in this field contribute to the training of scientists (doctoral researchers) that our country needs.

The opening of the "Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics" at our university will not only increase Türkiye's knowledge in this field and its recognition in the scientific world, but will also contribute to closing the gap in the highly equipped human resources needed by our country's health sector. The most important difference that distinguishes the department from its peers is that, in addition to basic science research, it also focuses on clinical applications, and while doing so, its students can also benefit from the opportunities provided by Acıbadem University and Acıbadem Health Group. Thanks to the extremely modern laboratory facilities and physical infrastructure, the journey from laboratory to clinic enables world-leading studies, especially in the field of health.

Students who complete their education can work as researchers in legal and private institutions such as universities and research centers. They can work as experienced personnel in medical schools and health sectors such as genetic disease diagnosis and treatment centers, in areas requiring biotechnology such as food and agriculture, and in many laboratories including transgenic animal production.
