For my undergraduate, I studied Molecular Biology & Genetics at the Istanbul Technical University (Turkey), followed by my M.Sc. in Molecular Biology, Genetics and Bioengineering at Sabanci University (Turkey). During my M.Sc. programme, I investigated the regulation of autophagy through microRNAs, and developed a nanoparticle-based, microRNA-functionalised gene therapy system to target breast cancer cells. At the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London, I study the mechanisms of selective autophagy.
