I studied Molecular Biology and Genetics at Bahçeşehir University (Turkey), before pursuing a master's degree in Molecular and Cellular Life Sciences at Vrije Universiteit Brussel. For my MSc thesis, carried out in collaboration with the VIB Structural Biology Lab under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Peter Tompa, I investigated how liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) in tau protein could be modulated in the context of Alzheimer’s disease.

In 2025, I began my PhD as an MSCA Fellow at the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute as part of the NUCLEAR doctoral network.

I seek to uncover which metabolic enzymes are present in the nucleus of AML cells and how their nuclear functions contribute to disease progression and treatment response, drawing from my expertise in protein biology and disease mechanisms.
