Prof. Dr. Zuhal HAMURCU ERCIYES UNIVERSITY, GRADUATE SCHOOL OF STEM CELL Web

She has a research background in cancer biology, in the Department of Medical Biology, Faculty of Medicine, Erciyes University. She conducts both in vivo (in nude Scid mouse models) and in vitro studies. She is particularly interested in siRNA/miRNA transfection and the application of natural compounds as therapeutic agents in various cancer types, including breast, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), lung, and stomach cancer, as well as research on new therapeutic targets.

She participates in numerous national and international research projects funded by TÜBİTAK, TÜSEB, and BAP, both as a manager/coordinator, researcher, and consultant. As a result of these studies, she has over 70 SCI-indexed publications .

Research Areas
Her research includes studies investigating vascularization and developmental toxicity using rat embryo culture and HUVEC models, fetal rat bone development using dual skeletal staining protocols, in vivo/in vitro wound healing, and various plant extracts on experimental Ehrlich ascites and solid tumors (EAT), MDA-MB-231, SH-SY5Y, and more. Furthermore, in the field of neuroanatomy, she has detailed knowledge of the structural and functional anatomy of brain regions (cortex, hippocampus, brainstem, etc.). He is involved in many national and international research projects funded by TÜBİTAK and BAP as a manager/coordinator and researcher.

Elif Funda Şener
Prof. Dr. Elif Funda ŞENER ERCIYES UNIVERSITY, SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

Prof. Dr. Elif Funda Şener began her graduate studies in 2004 in the Department of Medical Genetics at Erciyes University Faculty of Medicine, and during her doctoral training conducted advanced genomic research at the John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics, University of Miami, USA. She joined the Department of Medical Biology at Erciyes University Faculty of Medicine in 2013, obtained the title of Associate Professor in 2017, and was promoted to Full Professor in 2023. Prof. Şener has long focused her scientific work on elucidating the biological foundations of autism through both clinical investigations and experimental models. She has served as principal investigator and researcher in numerous national and international projects, has authored more than 50 international peer-reviewed publications, and in 2024 introduced a novel autism candidate gene to the scientific literature. In addition to various administrative roles, she has been serving as the Chair of the Department of Medical Biology since 2024.
