Department of Stem Cell
1. General Information
Stem Cell department is a scientific discipline that targets the field of biotechnology and aims to provide infrastructure for advanced scientific research and technology development studies in this field, which contains the substructure of stem cell, cellular therapy, renewable medicine, biotechnology and tissue engineering. As of February 17, 2017, the Institute of Health Sciences Stem Cells was established and Master and Doctorate programs were opened.
Stem Cells Department performs scientific research, research and projects at a high level in all basic and applied fields related to stem cells and is able to produce world-class education and scientific data. Our Department offers technical and scientific facilities for project and thesis researches, utilizing the unit and laboratory facilities of the Cellular Therapy and Stem Cell Production, Application and Research Center (ESTEM), as well as conducting postgraduate training programs.
The Stem Cell Department was established to meet the need for postgraduate programs, which are still very few in number, in line with the increasing demand in our country on stem cells, by implementing basic and advanced level education programs on stem cells and cellular therapies in Turkey and abroad. As in the whole world, the scientific and unethical practices of stem cells in our country, made by exaggerated / misguided persons or groups of interest, pose a danger to patients. For this reason, the branches of education established or to be established within the University and the Institute will provide significant contributions to the stem cell and cellular treatment sector in order to produce scientific information in the light of graduate education and to apply these treatments under bioethics and biosecurity conditions. For this purpose, our department has provided multidisciplinary training in the field of stem cells in our dams. Training programs focus on the goal of better understanding of stem cell and cellular functioning and behavior and the treatment of diseases. Post-graduate training programs are carried out with the content necessary for cell production, reproduction, storage under appropriate conditions, and for use by clinical and scientific research groups in our country, consistent with bioethics and biosafety rules.
Proficiency, knowledge and experience gained from dissertation and project studies are being shared with other researchers in the field of education and graduate education programs and important contributions are made to their education and country so that our country has enough experience and knowledge in science and application in this field in future. In addition to this, our Stem Cell Anabilim Dairy serves to prepare the knowledge, experience, skill, scientific infrastructure and most importantly academic and qualified human power necessary for clinical applications and treatments that are expected to pass through the world intensively in the near future.
