Department of Bioengineering

I am Associate Professor Mesut IŞIK, a faculty member at Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University, Faculty of Engineering, Department of Bioengineering. The Bioengineering Department at our university started accepting students in the fall semester of 2020-2021. Since bioengineering is an interdisciplinary field, our department includes multiple disciplines. It primarily combines fundamental sciences such as chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics with engineering sciences such as electrical electronics, computers, and machinery. Our department consists of a total of seven academic staff, including six lecturers and one instructor. Our courses cover a range of topics including biochemistry, cell biology, biotechnology, mathematics, computer science, and engineering courses such as thermodynamics, heat transfer, and mass transfer. We also offer courses focused on current bioinformatics, computerized research of medical data, and health data.Our department also provides courses on biotechnology and bioengineering, as well as field courses. We have three laboratories, including one for students and two for research. In one of our research laboratories, we conduct research on biosensors and electrosensors for diagnosing diseases. In the other, our teachers focus on environmental biotechnology, microbial environments, and transferring microbial studies to environmental technology. My area of expertise is discovering new drugs and their bioactive properties.Internships are available in our department during the third and fourth semesters, and students can complete their graduation thesis at the end of the sixth and seventh semesters. Additionally, our faculty members work in cooperation with many universities, and we send students abroad through the department. Two years ago, we held a workshop on Electrochemical Biosensor Applications, and we plan to continue organizing similar workshops or conferences in the future.
