I have completed my bachelor's degree at Ege University Faculty of Science in the Department of Biochemistry and continued with Medical Biochemistry field at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine for my master's education particularly focusing on cancer. During my bachelor's education, I have attended Genome and Stem Cell Center at Erciyes University as an intern for 1 month where I was introduced to proteomic, genomic, and stem cell studies which are crucial parts of comprehending cancer metabolism and devising novel treatments. Over the course of my bachelor’s education, I was a member of a medicine-focused team. I designed new theranostics nanoparticles for imaging-guided therapy. With this distinct thesis, I enhanced my knowledge in the concept of targeted drug delivery systems and gained experience in numerous biochemistry techniques, such as cell death and cell viability assays, reverse phase evaporation technique, dialysis, gel filtration, centrifugation, and zeta potential analysis. My master’s degree research focused on biosensors. I practiced the synthesis of nanoparticles by using mini-emulsion polymerization techniques, FTIR-ATR, ellipsometry, contact angle measurements, and atomic force microscopy. Currently, I'm a both Ph.D. student and Research Assistant in Medical Biochemistry Department at Hacettepe University Medical School. For my further studying, now I focused on telomer which has a great impact on cancer development.
