Moleküler Biyoloji ve Genetik

Molecular Biology and Genetics examines the structure and function of genetic material and the molecular processes that govern living organisms. Coursework generally includes cell biology, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, and molecular biology techniques, supported by foundational courses in chemistry, mathematics, and general biology. Laboratory training is a central part of the field, giving students hands-on experience with methods such as DNA sequencing, gene cloning, and protein analysis, and many programs culminate in an independent research project. Graduates of this field pursue careers in biotechnology, pharmaceutical research, clinical and diagnostic laboratories, and academic or industrial research, and the degree also forms a common pathway into graduate study in the life sciences. This bachelor program runs for 4 years and is taught in English at Acıbadem Mehmet Ali Aydınlar University in İstanbul, Turkey. The university's orientation toward health and life sciences provides context for students in this discipline, particularly given İstanbul's concentration of research institutions and healthcare organizations. The English-medium curriculum is structured to prepare students for participation in international research and industry settings after graduation.
