Tanıtım
Sabancı Üniversitesi, Biyoloji Bilimleri ve Biyomühendislik programında modern biyoloji problemleri üzerinde, bitki biyolojisi, biyoinformatik ve moleküler ve hücre biyolojisi alanlarını kapsayan geniş bir müfredat çerçevesinde çalışılmaktadır. Modern bir alt yapıya sahip laboratuvarlarımızda, araştırma ve geliştirme projelerimiz, yurt içi ve yurt dışından diğer biyoloji programları ile ortak olarak yürütülmektedir.
Araştırma Alanları
Molecular and Cellular Biology
Mammals, including humans, are equipped with various defense mechanisms both at the organismal and cellular levels. Cells defend themselves against stressful conditions by activating various intracellular molecular responses. We study immune defense mechanisms, adaptive responses to oxidative stress in eukaryotic systems and cell death signaling in plant and mammalian cells. Stress induced signaling and eukaryotic gene expression is another focus of the research in this area.
