Overview

Key features

Students in the Genetics and Bioengineering program of the Istanbul Bilgi University will learn basic engineering principles to analyze biological mechanisms and systems through an engineering perspective. Among the goals of the program are designing new technologies for biological systems and processes and use such technologies in areas like medicine, agriculture, environment, and food.

We provide a broad and flexible curriculum enabling students to choose from a diverse list of areas for specialization. These areas cover a wide range of industrial and scientific spectrum such as computational analysis of life sciences data (e.g. DNA sequencing, gene finding, drug design, etc.), production of functional foods based on genomic effect of nutrients, benefitial recycling of environmental waste, biofuel production, biomedical signal and image processing.
