Within the framework of academic cooperation between universities, Professor Mehmet Ali Ozler conducts lectures and seminars for students of the specialties "Chemical Technology of Organic substances" and "Biotechnology", "Bioengineering and Bioinformatics" sharing modern scientific approaches, new technological solutions and international experience in the field of bioengineering research.

One of the directions of the professor`s scientific activity is the production of extracts from medicinal plants. His research is aimed at isolating and studying natural biologically active substances that can be used in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Work in this area contributes to the creation of environmentally friendly and safe natural medicines.

The professor also cleans olive oil using innovative methods of physico-chemical treatment to improve the quality and preserve the beneficial properties of the product. These studies are of great importance for the food industry and demonstrate the potential of using soft technologies to increase the production efficiency of natural oils.

Another important area of the professor`s scientific interests is the study of the biological properties of honey. He explores the influence of natural factors and processing technology on the composition, antioxidant activity and beneficial properties of honey, which is of practical importance for the development of natural functional foods.

The students participated with great interest in the classes of Professor Mehmet Ali Ozler, actively asked questions, discussed current scientific topics and gained valuable knowledge applicable in their future professional activities.

After the lecture, Mehmet Bey presented each student with a personalized book bookmark made with his own hands, which was a pleasant and touching gesture that left the students with the warmest impressions.

During the visit, the professor also visited research laboratories, got acquainted with the material and technical base and scientific projects of the department.

The meeting was held in a warm and productive atmosphere conducive to the development of international scientific cooperation and the strengthening of academic ties.

The arrival of Professor Mehmet Ali Ozler became a significant event in the life of the department, opening up new opportunities for students and teachers in the field of education and scientific research.
