Begüm Kocatürk

In 2008, she graduated from the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at Bilkent University with a merit scholarship, on the high honor roll. She completed her doctorate at Leiden University in the Netherlands and investigated the effects of coagulation factors on the development of breast cancer. She continued her work as a postdoctoral researcher at Bilkent University UNAM, where she examined the effects of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress on the development of atherosclerosis. After winning a Fulbright postdoctoral researcher scholarship, she worked at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to understand the etiology of Kawasaki vasculitis. Since 2020, she has served as a faculty member in the Department of Basic Oncology at Hacettepe University.
