Bioengineering is a profession that develops applications such as innovative materials, devices, processes, informatics platforms by looking at biological systems from an engineering perspective. Üsküdar University Department of Bioengineering (English) aims to train engineers who can develop new technologies inspired by biological systems and processes and bridge the gap between medical and engineering sciences. Our department aims to train graduates who have basic biology, chemistry and engineering knowledge, who are equipped with the technologies used in the health sector, pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology and engineering sciences, who can produce innovative applications and solutions in different fields of academia and industry, and who have gained the principle of interdisciplinary working. Therefore, in addition to theoretical education, a well-equipped applied laboratory education is one of the indispensable elements of the Department of Bioengineering. Bioengineering Basic and Applied Laboratory provides practical experience to future bioengineers through hands-on training.
The Bioengineering Basic and Applied Laboratory, located on the 1st floor of Üsküdar University Central Campus A Block, is equipped with the devices that undergraduate and graduate students may need during their education and research and is open to the use of students.
Basic Principles and Applications of Bioengineering Basic and Applied Laboratory
1. To ensure that students acquire basic laboratory rules and practical work discipline
2. To provide students with detailed and practical knowledge about the basic research methods and devices used in bioengineering
3. To provide students with a predisposition for interdisciplinary work by experiencing technologies used in different fields (bioprocess engineering, molecular biology, biotechnology, genetic engineering, etc.)
4. Conducting experiments planned within the scope of graduation projects and thesis studies of undergraduate and graduate students of our department
5. To ensure that national/international research projects are carried out jointly with different disciplines (chemistry, molecular biology, engineering, etc.) and institutions (universities, research centers, industrial organizations, etc.)
