About Department

Gebze Technical University - Bioengineering Department

Our Bioengineering Department, which started its activities in 2009, has been active in the field of scientific research and has started its active undergraduate education since the fall of 2017. The graduate program "Bioinformatics and Systems Biology" in our department offers a Master's degree since February 2016. The PhD program, improving our research focus in master’s program, began in February 2018. In addition, the Department of Bioengineering offers Master's degree and PhD in Bioengineering since 2022.

The main purpose of our department is to produce solutions to biological problems with the engineering perspectives. Our research in this direction includes

• examination of cell biology processes and disease mechanisms by using bioinformatics-based computational methods with systems biology approach,

• production of active molecules with antimicrobial properties for cancer treatment by using genetically modified microorganisms,

• development of biocompatible products with biomaterials and tissue engineering approaches,

• design of biomedical materials by using electrical-electronics and mechanical engineering methods,

• production of recombinant industrial enzymes and their characterization.
