• The purpose of Acibadem University Health Sciences Institute’s ‘Biochemistry and Molecular Biology’ Doctoral Program is to educate qualified scientists, who have strong team work spirit, questioning, idea production and investigation mentality and who can also contribute to production.
• Today, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology are the two fastest developing scientific fields and have substantial effect on sectors such as medicine, pharmacology, agriculture, husbandry, industry and environment globally, as much as in our country. All of the modern biotechnologic products are based on the knowledge at hand about biochemistry and molecular biology.
• In this doctoral program, the goal is to teach students cellular and chemical incidents, which are observed at health and sickness, at molecular level. Genetics, signal transduction and metabolic reactions form a grift interaction web that has harmony with the environment. Genetic changes such as mutation and polymorphism, which affect single molecule, have also effect on cellular behaviour besides chemical process. This way, they might have significant effect on the organs’ functions and the organism itself. Because of these reasons, today’s biochemistry involves a wide interdisciplinary web of genomics, proteomics, gene and protein network, as well as lipid, carbohydrate and protein metabolic pathway, cellular communication and signal cascades and also organs’ complex diseases and cardiovascular circulation. And in modern biochemical researches, as parallel to that wide content, advanced techniques such as microarrays, peptides, proteins and mass – spectrometry anlysis of biomolecules are also in use. Students, who attend this doctoral program, will gain experience about clinical and laboratory aspects of biochemical and genetic researches, besides acquisition of wide theoric knowledge about an interdisciplinary program.
• As a result, a student, who graduates from this program that aims to educate preemptible researchers in terms of career opportunities and preferability in various areas, will be able to become an academician or a researcher at public or private institutions such as universities and research centers and also will have executive positon opportunities at medical faculties’ and health institutions’ diagnosis and tratment laboratories.

• Learning takes place in the form of formal, open or distance education. In addition, practical training takes place in laboratories and workshops within higher education institutions, as well as internships in workplaces.

• Learn the important cellular and chemical events observed in health and disease at the molecular level.
• Evaluate genetic, signal transduction and metabolic reactions and their relation with a general overview in the light of current information using biochemical and molecular biological approaches
• Use the technical equipment and original devices in the laboratory and learn the methods with multidisciplinary approaches in the fields of education and research.
• Follow actual scientific developments in the literature by accessing valid sources of information
• Design an original experimental study, manage, conclude and interpret the results using the literature.
• Present original experimental study results in scientific meetings and publish in national / international refereed journal
• Adopt and apply the principles of scientific research and publication ethics
• Follow the new knowledge and technological developments in the field and use this information in scientific projects

Has advanced level of the following key competencies:

Literacy competence
Multilingual competence
Mathematical competence and competence in science, technology and engineering
Digital competence
Personal, social and learning to learn competence

Cultural awareness and expression competence

• For the evaluation of students, different assessment and evaluation methods such as midterm, project presentation, practice exam, final exam and article discussion are used.

To oversee the quality of higher education programs;

- YÖK is responsible for planning, organizing, managing and supervising education and training and other activities in higher education institutions.

- "University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" of higher education institutions prepared within the framework of the criteria determined by YÖK are published every year. The reports prepared according to these reports, including quantitative and qualitative evaluations of higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK.

- "Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report" containing academic, administrative and financial data of foundation higher education institutions is published annually by CoHE. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations of foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by YÖK. Quality assurance of undergraduate programs in higher education is ensured according to the "Procedures and Principles for Ensuring Quality Assurance of Higher Education Diploma Programs":

1. Creation and Approval of Curricula: YÖK determines the minimum standards and criteria required for the opening of undergraduate departments and programs in higher education institutions.

1.1. The curriculum of undergraduate programs in higher education institutions and the learning outcomes that each program will provide to the student are determined by the senates of higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.

1.2. The curricula of the National Core Curricula are adopted by the relevant Council of Deans and implemented by higher education institutions with the approval of the Council of Higher Education.

2. Assessment and Evaluation: The measurement and evaluation of the learning outcomes of each undergraduate program is carried out according to the teaching and examination regulations prepared by higher education institutions in accordance with the basic principles determined by YÖK on these issues.

3. Certification: Students enrolled in undergraduate programs, if they successfully complete the course credits and other obligations determined by higher education institutions; receive a bachelor's diploma.

4. Self-Assessment-External Evaluation: Higher education institutions, in the context of continuous monitoring, enter the "Institutional Internal Evaluation Reports" of the previous year into the Information System prepared by the Higher Education Quality Council (YÖKAK) at the beginning of each year. YÖKAK shares the "Institutional Feedback Report" prepared for the external evaluation of higher education institutions with the public. In addition, accreditation decisions issued by accreditation bodies authorized or recognized by YÖKAK also indicate that the quality assurance of the qualifications of the programs is ensured. YÖKAK conducts regular review activities regarding the qualifications determined in accordance with the legislation.

Language Proficiency:

TOEFL-IBT: At least 60

YDS/ÜDS/KPDS/YÖKDİL: At least 50

Candidates who do not have a foreign language certificate will be asked to get at least 50 points from the Foreign Language Proficiency Exam that will be held by Acıbadem Mehmet Ali Aydınlar University Foreign Languages ??Department.

Additionally,

Candidates must have a minimum score of 55 from the Academic Personnel and Postgraduate Education Entrance Examination (ALES).

• Students can either proceed to doctorate education or work at pharmaceutical industry or R&D centers.
