Mehmet Yunus Çomar pointed out that the importance of bioengineering has become more and more understood today. Çomar said, “We know that Bioengineering includes many different multidisciplinary departments. As biotechnology unites engineering, it is a crucial part in the development of vaccine and pharmaceutical technology or device and diagnostic kits. Based on this, we have prepared this program in order to introduce our department better, to realize better deal, and to realize what we can do.”

Dr. Lect. Member Tuba Sevimoğlu: “Bioengineering Department exists since the establishment of our university”

Dr. Lect. Member Tuba Sevimoğlu stated that the Bioengineering department and the club have existed since the foundation of Üsküdar University. She emphasized that the Bioengineering Days Program, which is held regularly every year, is important for students to raise awareness about Bioengineering, which is called the profession of the future.

Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan: “The importance of investments in bioengineering was understood”

Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan, Bioengineering Corona with the pandemic that the world and Turkey began to realize new and the PSR device, however, and noted that it is also seen how important this kind of device. Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, “When you say bioengineering, they would ask “What are you doing?” or they would ask this for Molecular Biology and Genetics. Now everyone is informed about this.

I think it is also very important for the awareness of the students who will decide.  It was also understood how important investments to be made in this regard are. We have seen how necessary and important the most important investments in health, and in the production of medicines and devices that will serve the diagnosis treatment here are. It is very important to talk about Bioengineering, which is the science that builds that balance between engineering and biological sciences, as well as the production of all these vaccines.” 

Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan emphasized that the corona epidemic is also important for thoracic surgery. Tarhan said, “We think they are far areas to each other, but there is spoken the only corona at Thoracic Surgery Congress. Because many of the innovations it has brought, brought different perspectives in medicine as well. May you have to ask the question; ‘How does Coronavirus change what we do now?'. Because priorities have changed. In the world, investment in the arms industry and oil was a priority. But now the investment in health, in people, is a priority. One has the right to live healthy, to have access to treatment. In order to achieve these rights, new methods of diagnosis and treatment are needed. What good is it to humanity if again does not serve the comfort of man? It is important that power serves man. What should we prioritize in bioengineering? I think it's important to talk among bioengineers about how our next policies will be. There will be talks in the next few years that we need to change our importance and priorities accordingly.”

8^th Bio-engineering days brought also notable names together. Marmara University, Faculty of Engineering Prof. Dr. Dilek Kazan made a presentation on COVID-19 and Bioengineering. On the other hand; Bahçeşehir University Faculty of Medicine Department of Basic Sciences Dr. Bircan Dinç, while making his presentation on Calorimetric Techniques in the Biophysical Characterization", Tribor R & D Company Research and Development Expert Dr. Zulhice Tanrıseven shared about the issue of Boron in Health Applications as well.

Beril Koparal, General Manager of the cosmetics company of NOTE, gave information about the career journey. While Dr. Lect. Member Turan Demircan from Muğla, Sitki Koçma University Faculty of Medicine Department of Basic Medical Sciences, made a presentation on the subject of “Successful spinal cord regeneration in metamorphic Axolotl: How is it possible?", Dr. Hamit Ekinci made a presentation on Plant Biotechnology. R&D Consultant at Acıbadem University LabCell Dr. Cihan Taştan shared about Gene Editing Therapies for COVID-19.”

Ümit Ünal, Provincial Director of Istanbul Industry and Technology, made his presentation on biotechnology and bio-entrepreneurship. Unal, "We need to spread the technology production in Turkey from ages 7 to 70 as a culture. In particular, we need to provide some training such as science, engineering, technology, mathematics, coding, and algorithms.”

The last speaker of the program was Assoc. Dr. Korkut Ulucan from Uskudar University's Molecular Biology and Genetics Department. Assoc. Dr. Korkut Ulucan said, "The age we are in, is a personal age, a personal approach. Because the differences in genetic structure have now begun to make functional sense. With the outputs of the Human Genome Project, we can now interpret many events on the basis of disease, even on the basis of daily life, though if they are emotional states."
