History

Following the foundation of TMU in 1983, educational and research activities related to biological sciences were undertaken at the Faculty of Basic Sciences. The two Departments of Plant Biology and Genetics started their work with 3 full-time faculty members in 1988. A year later in 1989, the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics was established and five years later in 1994, a Biology unit consisting of four Departments of Plant Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry and Biophysics was founded. In 2007, the Department of Nanobiotechnology was added and two years later, the Biology unit was moved and integrated into the Faculty of Biological Sciences.
