Dersin Amacı

The Nobel Prize is an international award administered by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden to “those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind”. By selecting Nobel prize-winning contributions in Genetics and Bioengineering-related areas, this course will focus on exploring the history behind some of the greatest achievements in science. We will further examine the lives of the laureates, the science behind the discovery and the impact of the prize on society.
