I am a permenant researcher and academic staff on Molecular Microbiology at MuÄŸla University in Turkey. I have carrried out studies related to induction of resistance mechanisms of organisms using physiological and molecular parameters. My current studies are on host-microbe/ microbe- microbe interactions, molecular markers, biological control of pathogens, enhancing enzymatic properties of bioagents using bioinformatic database, protein chemistry/ proteomics besides investigations on genetic properties of pathogens using molecular parameters, gene tracking and resistance to antibiotics. I am also interested in bioinformatic tools, whole genome/RNA seq data analysis, protein-ligand/ -protein docking analysis, drug discovery related to molecular microbiology and molecular genetics.

Life Sciences & Biotechnology

His current projects have led to the development of cardiovascular implants using nanomaterials and stem cell technology, and the development of organs using tissue engineering and nanoparticles for detection and treatment of cancer. He has also developed a family of nanomaterials and nanocomposite polymers for a range of biomedical applications. He was awarded the top prize in the field for development of nanomaterials and technologies for cardiovascular implants in 2007 by Medical Future Innovation, and in 2009 received a Business Innovation Award from UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) in the Life Sciences and Healthcare category. More recently (2011), he developed a lacrimal drainage conduit, vascular bypass graft, and trachea made from nanocomposite polymers and stem cells and delivered them from the laboratory directly to patients. In addition, he is also taking a further three products to clinical trials within the next three year, which include a coronary artery bypass graft in 2012, a transcatheter heart valve in 2013 (both funded by the Wellcome Trust), and a nerve conduit for nerve regeneration funded by the Technology Strategy Board (TSB).
