About Molecular Biotechnology
Molecular Biotechnology combines two important elements of modern biology: molecular methods and their transformation into technology. Thus, it aims to produce a wide range of solutions to today's important problems and to apply these solutions in the industry. These include new methods of diagnosis and treatment of diseases, efficient use of bioresources for environmental and energy problems, and evaluation of biological potential for the food and chemical industry.
The primary goal of our department in education and training is to provide students with a general and solid background in modern branches of biology. Therefore, in the "Molecular Biotechnology" undergraduate program, mainly biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics, cell biology and microbiology, bioinformatics and biotechnology courses are given in this direction. In addition, the numerical skills and engineering pillars required by technology are complemented by courses such as physics, mathematics and programming. One of the distinguishing features is regular exchange programs with partner universities, especially Potsdam University, and the targeted high degree of German connection in research and education.
Our research is mainly in the field of medical biotechnology. In this field, studies are carried out on the development of new diagnostic and treatment methods for human diseases in a spectrum ranging from microbial infections to neurodegenerative diseases.
