The Team’s research interests include interactions of animal cells with biomaterials, tissue engineering, stem cells, cancer stem cells, mechano-transduction and biocompatibility testing. We are particularly interested in development of experimental tissue engineered in vitro models for personalized medicine, identification of new therapeutic targets in neurodegenerative diseases, pre-clinical cancer treatment studies, investigation of angiogenesis pathways of the tumors, testing of new chemo/radio treatment strategies and use of nano-technologic approaches in a fast and dependable fashion.

About me

I graduated as a mechanical engineer from Bogazici University, Istanbul, Türkiye (1994); received my M. Sc degree from the Institute of Biomedical Engineering from Bogazici University (1997), and my Ph.D degree in Materials Science and Engineering from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA. I am an Associate Professor at Ege University Bioengineering Department, and currently the principal investigator of Ege Research Group of Biomaterials and 3D Biointerphases (EBioPhase). My research interests include interactions of mammalian cells with biomaterials, tissue engineering, mechanobiology, stem cells and biocompatibility testing. I am particularly interested in design and production of in vitro tissue engineered 3D personalized disease models for pharmaceutical screening and minimizing animal testing. I have experience on in vitro modeling of neurodegenerative diseases, blood-brain barrier pathologies, spinal cord injury and osteoporosis. I am also among the founding members of Turkish Biodesign Team (TBT), and investigate form and function relationship within different tissues.
