About the Department Welcome to the Department of Biology at
Fatih University. The department offers Bachelor of Science (BS)
degree in Biology. Our academic program is dynamic and provides
students with a solid background and detailed knowledge in the
fields of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Medical Microbiology,
Biochemistry, Physiology, and Biotechnology. Our department is
vital, and interactive with strong interactions between faculty
members and students. We train and educate undergraduate students
in all aspects of career development with regard to teaching,
research and at the highest levels of excellence. Our students
learn biology through our interactive class lectures and practice
through laboratory exercises. Undergraduate students are encouraged
to participate in research projects and summer research
training.
Slide 3
The Biology faculty are strongly committed to quality teaching
and advisement of students, and to excellence in research. Our
research facilities include state of the art research laboratories
that are equipped with modern devices. Our facultys research
activities cover a variety of disciplines including, Molecular
Microbiology, Cell and Molecular Biology, Mycology, Toxicology,
Immunology and Plant physiology. The mission of our department is
to create and communicate knowledge through education, and to
nurture and sustain a community of scholars who pursue this mission
through education and research in life sciences. Our aim is to help
our students make the transition from the passive role of receiving
knowledge to the active role as generator of new knowledge.
