My department has a multidisciplinary education programme and during my studies, I have taken both molecular genetics and engineering courses. My research interest is mainly based on cosmetic developments, anti aging skin researches, repairing of injured tissues using with kind of stem cells in- vitro, in- vivo tests. Therefore, I aim at learning and participating in that area according to Tissue Engineering. RESEARCH INTEREST Tissue Engineering in molecular state, Stem Cell Researches especially Embryonic Stem Cells, Structural Development of Organs at the early stages of Embryo and Regeneration of Tissues cosmetically with special tools under Tissue Engineering processes and 3D organ culture techniques.
