Graduate Specialization Fields
Faculty: Biotechnologies
Department: Medical Biotechnology, Applied Biotechnologies
The department provides a comprehensive educational and research program within the specialization of Genetic Engineering, offering scientific opportunities for undergraduate students. Annually, numerous original scientific researches are accomplished across various fields of Genetic Engineering, Biotechnologies, and other related sciences. At the undergraduate level, the department offers an opportunity to obtain a Bachelor's degree in Genetic Engineering through providing practical and theoretical lessons, as well as scientific research in nearly all branches of Genetic Engineering. The subjects taught during the four academic years supply the job market with graduates proficient in biotechnological technology contributing to the following scientific fields: chemical industries related to the manufacturing of both human and animal pharmaceuticals and vaccines; gene therapy through repairing defective genes using genetic engineering and reinjecting them via mother bone marrow cells; food industries, particularly techniques of genetically modified food substances, as well as converting agricultural waste into organic fertilizer.
The provided courses cover fundamental topics in Genetic Engineering such as Zoology, Botany, Physiology of Animals and Plants, Genetics, Ecology, Nanoscience, Immunology, Histology, Biotechnology, and several other sciences. The department consists of approximately 30 members, most of whom are holders of Doctorate and Master's degrees. The affiliates of the Genetic Engineering department are characterized by their high ambition and aspiration to elevate the scientific level to a global standard. In this regard, several department members are currently continuing their studies abroad and will enrich the department upon completing their study requirements, while a number of faculty members have completed their studies at prestigious scientific universities.
