Ph.D. on Medical Microbiology

At the end of this course, the students;

1. Explains in detail the biology, classification, life cycles, and molecular mechanisms of host?phage interactions of bacteriophages.
2. Plans and performs the fundamental laboratory methods used for the isolation, purification, propagation, characterization, and titer determination of bacteriophages.
3. Analyzes the biophysical, morphological, and genomic characteristics of bacteriophages using experimental and bioinformatics approaches and interprets the obtained data
4. Evaluates the biomedical and biotechnological applications of bacteriophages, including bacterial identification, biocontrol, phage therapy, and phage?antibiotic combinations, based on scientific evidence.
5. Analyzes current research topics, including phage resistance development, phage-encoded virulence factors, and phage lysins, and relates them to the scientific literature.
6. Designs bacteriophage research experiments, evaluates the obtained results in accordance with scientific ethical principles, and applies them in research processes
