TEAM
Our team consists of students in the departments of biomedical engineering and molecular biology and genetics.
Bükem Tanören
Principal Investigator
I am graduated from Department of Physics in Bogazici University. I got my PhD in Physics in 2007 from the same department. I am mainly interested in studying spectroscopic and microscopic techniques and their potentials in diagnosis. I currently study development and improvement of imaging systems in medicine and theranostic nanoparticles as imaging agents.
Fatemeh Ataei
Researcher
I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in pure chemistry from Sharif University of Technology.
My interest in chemistry and biology led me to pursue a master’s degree in biomedical engineering. I am particularly interested in how chemistry can be applied to solve biomedical problems. Currently, I am working on research that involves quantum dots and exploring their potential in the biomedical field.
Beste Dipçin
Researcher
I am a molecular biology and genetics undergraduate program graduate from Acıbadem University. My main goal is to integrate what I am currently learning and working on in the lab with the molecular biology and genetics field to develop gene therapies and theranostic nanoparticles for the diagnostics and treatment of autoimmune and rare diseases alongside developing better drug delivery and imaging systems for complex diseases such as cancer. Currently, I am working on the synthesis, and imaging of theranostic quantum dots, nanoparticle complex production for gene knock-down, and in vitro testing of quantum dots to test their theranostic potential in complex diseases and against multidrug resistant bacteria.
Master of Science (MSc.) Students
Bora Güvendiren
Researcher
I am a Medical Engineering graduate who is completing a double major program in Molecular Biology and Genetics at Acıbadem University. My areas of interest include computational chemistry and biology, molecular dynamics simulations, quantum physics, quantum computations, development and optimization of image processing algorithms in MATLAB, Python, and C++. Apart from my areas of interest, I am presently engaged in two projects: the first involves using machine learning and deep learning algorithms to identify cancerous regions within the body, and the second focuses on integrating carbon-based quantum dots into biological systems with the goal of utilizing molecular dynamics simulations to obtain preliminary data and applying these quantum dots for imaging and therapeutic purposes.
