Muhammad Furkan ÜSTÜN
In Silico Design Scientific Content Producer, Master's Student
I am Muhammed Furkan Üstün, a graduate of Van Yuzuncu Yil University, Department of Animal Science. In my undergraduate thesis, titled “Bioinformatic Comparison of Some Web-Based PCR Primer Design Programs”, I examined the algorithms of different primer design programs and evaluated the dynamics, advantages and limitations of these tools. Thanks to this study, I had the opportunity to gain an in-depth perspective on bioinformatics-based genomic sequence analysis. During my undergraduate studies, I had the chance to reinforce my theoretical knowledge with practical experience by doing an internship at the “International Livestock Research and Education Center Directorate” Institute in Ankara. I am currently continuing my master's degree at Van Yuzuncu Yil University. I have a great interest in areas such as molecular genetics, bioinformatics, artificial intelligence-supported bioinformatic analyses and molecular modeling, and I constantly try to learn new information and gain practical skills in order to improve myself in these areas.
İlayda BOYRAZ
In Silico Design Scientific Content Producer, Undergraduate Student
I am İlayda Boyraz, an undergraduate student in the Department of Physics at Istanbul University. I am interested in drug design, molecular modeling, and biophysics. I am particularly focused on protein-ligand interactions and I am developing my skills through various projects in this field. At the same time, I aim to deepen my knowledge in biophysics and pursue an academic career. I believe that research conducted at the molecular level can offer innovative solutions that contribute to drug discovery processes. I continue to nurture my scientific curiosity through an interdisciplinary approach and a passion for learning.
Yağmur CAVAS
In Silico Design Scientific Content Producer, Undergraduate Student
I am Yağmur Çavaş, a senior student in the Department of Bioengineering at Ege University. My academic studies have primarily focused on the enzyme inhibition potentials of natural compounds and molecular dynamics simulations. During my internship at the Izmir Biomedicine and Genome Center, I had the opportunity to work with structural bioinformatics tools such as AlphaFold. In addition to computational biology and molecular modeling techniques, I am also working to improve myself in the field of machine learning, aiming to apply these approaches to the analysis of biotechnological data. I am currently continuing my research at ÇınaroğluLab.
Ceyda GÜVEN
In Silico Design Scientific Content Producer, Undergraduate Student
I am Ceyda Güven. I am a 4th year Bioengineering undergraduate student at Ege University. During my education, I developed a special interest in bioinformatics. In addition to learning the basic concepts and analysis tools in this field, I also had the opportunity to put my theoretical knowledge into practice with my end-of-term project. I am interested in the field of bioinformatics.
