The course is held in two parts. The first part of the course covers
review of the differential equations and linear algebra undergraduate topics: First-order
and second order ordinary differential equations and their solutions. Laplace
transforms and power series solutions. The linear algebra topics (the system
solutions, vectors etc.), as well as their examples of applications in the
field of engineering. In the second part, the higher order linear
differential equations with variable coefficients, higher order nonlinear
differential equations, Laplace Transforms, inverse Laplace transforms,
Convolution and integral equations, solution of differential equations systems
with Laplace transform, initial value series solutions of differential
equations are discussed.

Cancer is an abnormal
growth of cells. The cancerous cells can invade and destroy surrounding healthy
tissue, including organs. This course aims to identify the major types of
cancer worldwide; list and describe the hallmarks of cancer; differentiate the
contribution of genes to the risk and growth of cancer; define metastasis and
identify the major steps in the metastatic process; describe the role of
imaging and screening, diagnosis, staging, and treatments of cancer.

In this course, students will investigate the biological processes of reproduction, including the endocrinology and physiology of male and female reproduction, puberty, lactation and menopause. They will gain an understanding of the determinants of fertility and infertility, and how reproductive biotechnology is used to overcome poor fertility. This course will also include a focus on the genetics of normal and disordered pregnancy. Students will explore how reproductive biology impacts other aspects of health, exploring implications of early life exposures for later health and of the biology of reproductive cancers. Social and ethical implications of reproductive technologies and research will be discussed within appropriate topics. Students will have opportunities to hear from scientists and practitioners with relevant expertise.

In this course, students will learn about fundamental molecular biology laboratory techniques and will use those techniques to carry out experiments which theoretically coincide with topics studied in MBGE302 – Molecular Biology I. Therefore, students should not take this lab course unless they have taken MBGE302 or are currently taking it. Experiments/techniques that will be discussed and carried out are; reverse transcription polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR), single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analyses, immunoblotting or western blots, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and affinity chromatography. Additionally, cell/tissue cultures will be discussed and how to grow and maintain cell lines. Cells will be used to carry out metabolic experiments such as adenosine triphosphate assays, MTT assays for cell viability and TUNEL assays for apoptosis. Immunocytochemistry will also be covered.

In this course, students will learn about fundamental molecular biology laboratory techniques and will use those techniques to carry out experiments which theoretically coincide with topics studied in MBGE401 – Molecular Biology II. Therefore, students should not take this lab course unless they have taken MBGE401 or are currently taking it. Experiments/techniques that will be discussed and carried out are; the construction and cloning of recombinant DNA, DNA fingerprinting via Southern Blotting, and CRISPR. Additionally, cell lines will be used to discuss and carry out DNA and RNA extractions, cytotoxicity assays like LDH assays and protein extractions and protein concentration assays.

This module is designed to serve as an introduction to
aspects of law, ethics and social policy related to human biology and medicine.
The complexities of the causes and the different types of cells that give rise to this disease have underscored the need for a better understanding of the basic biology of cancer; therefore, this course aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the biology and pathology of cancer. The course mainly focuses on the genetics and the molecular basis of cancer. The courses explores the role of mutations in cancer cells, and how they lead to the dysregulation of essential biological properties like programmed cell death, cell proliferation and differentiation. Furthermore, the influence of environmental factors in cancer susceptibility and comparisons of the classic treatment methods with newer treatment strategies like targeted therapies are elucidated.
Bakteriler, dünyadaki en basit yaşam formları arasında kabul edilir. Yine de, yaşam döngülerinin her sürecini, bölümlendirme yardımı olmadan tek bir hücre içinde yürüttükleri karmaşık ve zarif doğa şaşırtıcıdır. Bu derste, bakteri ve bakteriyofajlar tarafından kullanılan moleküler olayları ve stratejileri etraflıca inceleyeceğiz. Daha sonra bu organizmaların herhangi bir ortama nasıl uyum sağlayabildiğini ve tepki verebildiğini anlamak için bu bilgiyi vahşi doğadaki bakteriyel davranışlara uygulayacağız. / Description: Bacteria are considered to be amongst the simplest forms of life on earth. Yet the intricate and exquisite nature in which they conduct each process of their lifecycle within a single cell, without the aid of compartmentalization, is staggering. In this course, we will thoroughly examine the molecular events and strategies employed by bacteria and bacteriophages. We will then apply this knowledge to bacterial behaviour in the wild to understand how these organisms can adapt and respond to any given environment.
