FOUNDATION & HISTORY |
|
The Department of Medical Biology was established in 1982 to conduct research and provide education in human genetic diseases. Our department is a science that conducts research within the scope of molecular / cell biology, molecular genetics and medical genetics for the diagnosis and treatment of genetic diseases at the cellular and molecular level, and also provides education and training at the master's and doctorate levels. In our department, graduate education in 1990 and doctorate education began in 1994. Cytogenetics, Molecular Cytogenetics (FISH), Cancer Genetics and Tissue Laboratories have been established in our department since 1993, and Molecular Genetics Laboratory has been established in 1997. In this context, routine laboratory services of Farabi Hospital Cytogenetics, Cancer Cytogenetics and Molecular Cytogenetics (FISH) were carried out between 1993 and 2010, and researches are carried out to determine chromosomal anomalies in genetic material (chromosome, DNA) and responsible for genetic diseases and mutations on genes. Our Department. As of 2012, our competencies in recombinant technology, gene expression analyzes, protein-protein interactions, cell signaling pathways, transgenic animal analyzes, cell imaging technology and bioinformatics analyzes have been added to our infrastructure in genetics, and our department has been strengthened both as educational staff and laboratory infrastructure. Our department is located in Basic Medical Sciences Building, Block A, Floor 2, and in its infrastructure; There are cell culture laboratory, Cytogenetic laboratory, FISH laboratory, Confocal microscopy and Molecular Genetics Laboratories.

Our Lecturer Leaving the Institution: Prof. Dr. Fahri UÇAR | | QUALIFICATION AWARDED | | Master's Degree | | LEVEL of QUALIFICATION: | | Qualifications Frameworks in the European Higher Education Area (QF-EHEA), Level 2
European Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning (EQF-LLL), Level 7 | | MODE of STUDY | | Full Time | | ADMISSION & REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS | | - To graduate from a department or faculty that meets the "Graduation Prerequisites for Application to Graduate Programs" determined by the Board of Health Sciences Institute and approved by the Karadeniz Technical University Senate.
- Having ALES (Quantitative/Equally Weighted) and a Foreign Language base score determined by the Board of Health Sciences Institute and approved by the KTU Senate (Application and Entry Requirements for the Graduate Programs of the KTU Health Sciences Institute). | | OBJECTIVE of THE PROGRAMME | | | | RECOGNATION of PRIOR LEARNING | | The "Directive on Recognition of Prior Learning", Senate Decision No. 340 issued on July 28, 2023, has been accepted and entered into force regarding the students registered in all programs of Karadeniz Technical University to determine the principles to be followed for the recognition, crediting, and adaptation of the achievements acquired by the students at non-university institutions.
In this Directive,
- recognition of knowledge, skills, and competencies acquired with special interest through an exemption exam to be substituted as program courses,
- recognition of workplace and internship experiences through portfolio evaluation to be substituted as program courses,
- and the crediting of certificates received from accredited institutions regarding students' special interests are covered.
Announcements of courses included in the scope of recognition of prior learning, applications, and evaluation will be made on the dates specified in the academic calendar.
Recognition of prior learning will offer numerous benefits to our students and employers. For our students, increasing professional development and mobility in the labour market, preventing repetition of education and waste of time, providing early graduation, reducing the cost of learning, encouraging learning, and increasing the student's motivation and self-confidence can be counted among the benefits of recognition of prior learning. From the employers' perspectives, it will contribute to satisfying skill or competence deficiencies in the workplace, reducing the time employees spend outside the workplace for training purposes, and thus using resources more efficiently. | | QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS and REGULATIONS | | The study period of the program is four semesters and can be extended to a maximum of six semesters. By the end of the fourth semester at the latest, the student must have successfully completed minimum seven courses stated in the curriculum including compulsory and elective courses, one of which must be in English, corresponding to at least 21 credits (120 ECTS credits) in total as well as the "Seminar" course and the "Scientific Research and Publication Ethics" course (non-credit). Also, at the end of the sixth semester at the latest, the thesis study must be completed, and the student must be accepted successful in the thesis defense examination.
KTU Graduate Education Regulations | | EXAMINATION, ASSESSMENT and GRADING REGULATIONS | | Students are subjected to a midterm exam, term study (project, seminar, quiz, assignment, or a second midterm exam), and final exam for each course. The share of the midterm exam in the final grade of the course is 30%, that of the term study is 20%, and that of the final exam is 50%. All exams are graded out of 100 points. For a student to be considered successful in a course, s/he must get at least a letter grade of "CC" as the end-of-semester grade in that course. | | GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS | | To graduate from the master's degree program, it is necessary to successfully complete;
- minimum seven courses including compulsory courses, one of which must be in English, corresponding to at least 21 credits (120 ECTS credits) in total as well as the "Seminar" course and the "Scientific Research and Publication Ethics" course (non-credit) by the end of the fourth semester and
- the thesis study by the end of the sixth semester. | | OCCUPATIONAL PROFILES of GRADUATES | | Our graduates can work as an expert or consultant in the area of cytogenetic, molecular biology and genetics in public and private health sector, universities, R&D centers. They can also continue national and international PhD programs. | | ACCESS to FURTHER STUDIES | | Qualifications Frameworks in the European Higher Education Area (QF-EHEA), Level 3
