Work Experience
Newcastle University, Newcastle, UK, Graduate Student, 2010 – 2014
I discovered membrane binding properties of bacterial cell division protein SepF.
I genetically engineered a Bacillus subtilis strain with minimal cellular machinery that supports cell division.
Newcastle University, Newcastle, UK, Teaching assistant, 2011 – 2012
I oversaw the undergraduate biology students in several laboratory courses.
The Centre for Bacterial Cell Biology, Institute for Cell and Molecular Biosciences, Newcastle University, Erasmus Exchange Internship, June-September 2008
I studied the interactions of cell division protein DivIVA with other proteins in the cell.
Dr. Severcan’s Laboratory, Middle East Technical University, Turkey, Summer Student, June-September 2007
I studied the effects of diabetes on lipid composition of the cell membrane. Publications
