Özkan İŞ
Ozkan is especially interested in neuroscience. In near future, he wants to study in molecular neuroscience combined with
synthetic biology approaches. He believes that by applying synthetic biology approaches to synapses, genetic mechanisms
underlying the neurodegenerative diseases will be revealed.
Ceren ŞEREF
Ceren is currently a junior year student of Biology department at Middle East Technical University. It is her first year in METU Syborg and also in iGEM.
She wants to study Neuroscience, especially Neurodegenerative Diseases in the future. Furthermore, she is highly interested in Molecular Biology.
She thinks that Synthetic Biology opens up a whole new page in Biology
Serap MEMİK

molecular biology. She thinks that synthetic biology has great potential and infinite opportunities to practice in human life..
Rengin ERDEM
Rengin is currently a Master’s student of Biotechnology at Middle East Technical University. She has got her Bachelor’s degree
from Gazi University, her major being Biology. She always liked the idea of creating novel systems by utilizing the
information derived from scientific studies. Therefore, she is quite excited to take part in a Synthetic Biology project.
In addition to Synthetic Biology, she is also interested in Biomedical Sciences such as Developmental and Neurological
Biology. Rengin is glad to have an enthusiastic and motivated group of colleagues to work with.
