General Information

This program provides the necessary knowledge and skills for the treatment and diagnosis of genetic diseases by molecular biology and molecular genetics techniques. In this context, program gives the necessary knowledge and skills for making DNA isolation and PCR from all kinds of tissues. In addition, program allows the student to make cell and tissue culture to obtain and interpret chromosomes. Successful graduates can continue their academic studies with PhD education or they can find jobs in health institutions.

Length of Programme & Number of Credits

2 Year - 120 ECTS

Feature & Definition

Graduates of Medical Biology program should be able to know and explain the structure and functions of cells and organelles which constitute the basic structure of organisms, the functions of tissue and organ systems, the structure of genetic material, genetic diseases and genes that cause diseases, the structure of genes, the diseases that occur with the mutations in genes, the forms of inheritance, molecular and cytogenetic analysis and the numerical and structural anomalies of autosomal and sex chromosomes.
