Dokuz Eylul University Institute of Health Sciences Department of Medical Biochemistry
The Department of (Medical) Biochemistry was founded in 1982 with the approval of High Council of Education (YOK) under the umbrella of the Medical School. The academic faculty of the department is composed of faculty members competent in different areas of biochemistry/medical biochemistry. The Master s and Doctorate degree programmes of Medical Biochemistry has been started in the 1985-1986 academic year. To date, 39 Master's and 37 PhD students have graduated.
The objectives of this programme are to educate individuals having an advanced level of basic and up-dated theoretical and laboratory information in basic biochemistry, medical biochemistry and closely related fields, to train students in basic laboratory skills as well as those skills necessary for performing independent research: to train them in advanced data searching, project writing, project management, international scientific communication, and writing of scientific articles.
