Profile of the Programme |
Biochemistry is a life science that investigates the chemical processes occurring in animals, plants and microorganisms. Biochemistry which is the important research area of Basic Sciences has gained interdisciplinary quality with the development of technology. The present 21st century is defined as the biological sciences and biotechnology era. Today, the goal of science and technology is to provide a solution for presenting healthy environment and life to humanity. For this purpose, the researches carried out or targeted in Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Gene Technology is exponentially increasing. It is also the indication of this situation that Nobel science prizes have recently been received by biochemists. |
