| About The Department |
: |
Biotechnology is a sector that is connected with research centers and universities, having high employment rate and high R&D intensity, unlike other classical sectors. Today, the field of biotechnology offers crucial opportunities to solve the problems that we face as humanity on the environment, health, food, energy and agriculture. In addition to the production of many medicinal plants and animals, many inland biotechnological methods such as various antibiotics, antibodies, vaccines, artificial organs and tissue production are utilized. Furthermore, biotechnology offers technological solutions to health, natural resource and ecosystem sustainability issues, and contributes to increased productivity through its use in different industries. Biotechnology Department in the Faculty of Science was opened by the Council of Higher Education within the year of 2016 and accepted the first students to Undergraduate Program in 2016-2017 academic year. |
