The Biology Graduate Program has started in the Department of Biology in 2013. Language of t is Turkish. The graduate program will be conducted on the different areas of Biology such as Microbiology, Botanic, Hydrobiology, General Biology, Molecular Biology, Genetic, Biological Control, Ecology, Marine Biology. The academic staff of biology consists of four Professor, four Associate Professor, one Assistant Professor and one research assistant. There are 10 laboratory that eight of them for research and two of them for education in the department. General Biology, Zoology, Botanic, Hydrobiology, Molecular Biology an Genetic are the sections of the department. Our research fields are microbiology in water, antimicrobial activity, systematic of fungi, food microbiology, identification at bacteriology, population genetic, molecular systematic, marine biodiversity, entomopathogenic nematodes as biological control agents, ecology, etnobotanical plants and floristic surveys on different regions of Turkey, ichthyology, ecological studies on lessepsian species in coasts of Turkey, comparison of Turkish honey bees for mtDNA and morphological features.
We aimed to use information and our experience towards modern, creative, reproductive, participative students and abide by modern education principles as the department.
The department of biology aims to educate the experts at graduate level of biology in botanic, zoology, hydrobiology, general biology, molecular biology and genetic with it’s internationally experienced academic staff.
Either national or international it is important to graduate people expert on different sections of biology for modern world. In this context, department of biology aims to make up for missing experts in different sections of biology. And the students will be educated as theoretical, experimental and attend to field studies.
