Basic Hepatology Department, which is equipped with a molecular biology research laboratory aiming at carrying out of every sort of scientific research on liver and its diseases, was founded in 1999. Courses such as Pathogenesis of Liver Diseases, Liver Cell Biology, Molecular Biology of Hepatitis virus and its applications, Cancer-Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Hepatic Fibrosis, New Horizons in Liver Research, Genetic Engineering and its applications and Clinics and Epidemiology of Hepatitis Viruses are within the scope of compulsory and selective courses in the department. 

Its is aimed that the graduate students will gain the skills and capability to carry out basic research on molecular diagnosis of liver diseases, development of gene therapy methods and its applications.

The student who graduated from this program: - will have a general knowledge of liver anatomy, liver cells, their functions and their molecular biology together with the molecular biology and immunology of hepatitis viruses, molecular diagnosis methods and molecular epidemiology. - will gain the skills to carry out molecular techniques used in the studies of development of gene therapy methods and molecular diagnosis of genetic liver diseases. - will be able to do the troubleshooting in the applications that are encountered during the application of molecular methods.
