Beykoz Institute of Life Sciences and Biotechnology at Bezmialem Vakıf University (BILSAB) was officially instituted in 2014. The Institute was lauched to engage in education, research and medical service activities in accordance with the general mission of Bezmialem Vakıf University and as a continuum to the 200-year tradition of the Gureba-i Muslimin Hospital at our age.
The aim is to establish an institute that is recognized, known and highly regarded first at the region, then in the country and then in the world in the fields of activities carried out at the Institute.
Tothis end, a significant amount of efforts were put into establishing and restoring the physical infrastructure of BILSAB in accordance with the regulations on historical buildings during the first 3 years.

Afterwards, the Institute was lauched in May, 2018 and the researchers started working in the laboratories for the first time.
