The term biotechnology first appeared in the programs of the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) in 1982. The State Planning Organization (SPO) in 1988 defined biotechnology and the scientific fields. Moreover, it put forward an institutional framework and suggested priority areas for research and development. Turkey has been researching and investing in biotechnology for almost four decades. This review covers the development of science and technology policy with its history, consensus and consequences, bio-industries in Turkey, and research activities in biotechnology at Turkish Universities. Details are provided by the research groups in response to a common request for information on their activities and major publications in the field. The information provided has been grouped under thematic topics within the broad theme of biotechnology, and summarized within these topics. Although many aspects of biotechnological research are being pursued in Turkey, it appears that the most common research activities of the field are in fermentation processes, environmental biotechnology, and biomedical engineering.
“生物技术”一词于1982年首次出现在土耳其科学技术研究理事会（TÜBİTAK）的项目中。1988年，国家计划组织（SPO）对生物技术及相关科学领域进行了定义。此外，它还提出了一个制度框架，并建议了研发的优先领域。土耳其在生物技术领域的研究和投资已有近四十年的历史。本综述涵盖了科技政策的发展历程、共识及影响，土耳其的生物产业，以及土耳其大学在生物技术领域的研究活动。各研究小组应共同要求提供了有关其活动和该领域主要出版物的详细信息。所提供的信息已按照生物技术这一广泛主题下的专题进行了分类，并在这些专题中进行了总结。尽管土耳其在生物技术研究的许多方面都有所涉猎，但该领域最常见的研究活动似乎集中在发酵工艺、环境生物技术和生物医学工程方面。
