About

I graduated from Ankara High School of Science as a valedictorian in 2018. The same year, I participated International Biology Olympiads and got a bronze medal. I ranked 75th in the 2018 National University Entrance Exam in Turkey and accepted to the highest-ranked medical school in Turkey. I gained extensive research experience at the Medipol Cancer Center, focusing on glioma pathophysiology, glioblastoma therapeutic modalities, and gene-editing therapies. I completed internships in prestigious cancer research programs, including the AMGEN Scholars program, and hands-on clinical electives at several university hospitals in Japan and United States. I graduated from medical school in 2025 with honors and recently working as a full-time emergency medicine doctor at an underserved area of Turkiye. I aspire to specialize in cancer immunology and contribute as a physician-scientist. I am actively seeking postdoctoral research opportunities to expand knowledge and expertise in cancer research.
