Career Summary
She obtained her bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics in 2003 at the School of Health
Sciences, Hacettepe University, Ankara (Turkey). There, she obtained a student success award as
well as a İhsan Doğramacı superior success award realized by Hacettepe University. While
studying as a MSc student, she worked as nutritionist in the Acıbadem Hospital in Istanbul, and
later worked as a research assistant at Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Hacettepe University.
In 2006 she received her master’s degree and continued to work as research assistant in the same
department. In August 2007 she received a fellowship as talented PhD student from the Council of
Higher Education of Turkey (YÖK). With this fellowship, she worked as PhD student in the
Department of Biochemistry at the Cardiovascular Research Institute Maastricht (CARIM) of
Maastricht University. The research performed was supervised by Prof. Dr. J.W.M. Heemskerk.
She obtained the status of Article 9 expert according to the Netherlands Law on Animal
Experiments. Recenty, she visited congresses in Birmingham (United Kingdom), Wittenberg
(Germany), Boston (USA) and Nürnberg (Germany), Kyoto (Japan), Vancouver (Canada),
Maastricht (Netherlands), St Petersburg (Russia) and obtained several prices. As a Post-doc and
lecturer she has scientific projects and undergraduate/postgraduate students. The field of interest is
nutritional sciences, nutritional biochemistry and metabolism. From August 2012, she is employed
as Assistant Professor by Hacettepe University, Turkey.
