Gulcin Cakan Akdogan — Product Manager
PhD in zebrafish developmental biology. Expert in live imaging, transgenic development, molecular biology. Assistant Professor at DEU IBG-izmir Institute. Principal Investigator, leading research on disease modeling in zebrafish model. We are exploiting the versatile zebrafish model to develop disease models in cancer and rare diseases, develop tools for drug efficacy and toxicity testing in vivo. We are particularly interested in zebrafish liver as a model for DILI (Drug induced liver injury), HCC and liver metastasis, and metabolic diseases such as NASH. We develop drug screening platforms, reporter transgenic lines and CRISPR/Cas9 induced mutants to conduct cutting edge research.
