Profile of The Programme
Medical Biology Doctoral Programme is aimed to train scientists who has theoretical knowledge that may contribute to universal science of Molecular Biology and Genetics and who is able to do original researches that may contribute to the international science especially in the field of Cancer Genetics, Molecular Biology and Genetics and Genotoxicology. In this programme, not only medical biology and medical science but also Molecular Cell Biology, Molecular Biology of Gene, Advanced Analysis Methods and Cancer Genetics as compulsory subjects, and Familial Cancers and Mechanisms, Genotoxicology, Recombinant DNA Technology and Applications, Special Topics in Molecular Biology, The Role of Epigenetic Mechanisms in Cancer Development and Usage of Web-based Programmes to Determine the Significance of Mutations as elective courses are taugh in order to cooperate collaboration with the clinical science.
Graduates of Medical Biology Doctoral Programme may serve as an administrator in higher education institutions, clinics and laboratories.

Notion of Medical Biology Department in formative phase was giving Medical Biology and Genetics lectures to students. However, since establishment of Medical Genetics, Molecular Genetics, FISH, Cancer Genetics and Prenatal Diagnosis Laboratories in 1996, department began to give routine patient service and international reseachers have been performed. With the establishment of Department of Medical Genetics in 2003, Cancer Genetics, Tissue Culture and Molecular Cytogenetics Laboratories reorganized and our researches mostly focused on Molecular Cancer Genetics. In 2009, Cancer Genetics, Molecular Genetics and Gene Expression Laboratories reorganized and since than 134 parameter of routine genetic analysis have been performed in these laboratories.
Currently, 3 faculty members, 2 professors, 1 associated professor, and a research assistant PhD student, 4 master students, a biologist and a laboratory technician are working.
