Biography

I joined the Ertürk Lab in August 2026 as a Ph.D. Candidate in the Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences.

I studied Molecular Biology, Genetics and Bioengineering at Sabancı University, then completed an M.Sc. in Molecular and Cellular Biology at LMU Munich. During my master's thesis I worked as a Research Assistant at iBIO, Helmholtz Munich, and I completed additional research internships in Nuclear Medicine at LMU Hospital and in Large Molecule Research at Roche.

My research interests are at the intersection of neuroscience and immunology.
