Genoks Genetics Center

Ankara, Türkiye

SME

With a strong background in Molecular Biology, Genetics, and Biotechnology, I have over five years of experience in writing, and managing R&D projects for SMEs.

My organisation

Sharing its technology with 10 countries, more than 600 hospitals and approximately 5500 physicians, Genoks has carried out more than 80,000 NGS tests, with its high-tech sequencing platforms, local servers and NGS database over 450,000 Gb. Genoks leads to contribute human healthcare not only in Turkey but also in the nearby geography. It is aimed to become one of the largest genome centers in EEMEA. Genoks which started to routinely use the NIPT test for the first time in Turkey by using Next Generation Sequencing technology with its technology transfers as Genetics Diagnosis Center. Genoks presents valuable comprehensive genetic testing panels which contains Non-invasive prenatal Testing, Whole Genome Sequencing, Whole Exome Sequencing, Cancer Genetics, Carrier Screening Test, Newborn Screening Test, Monogenic Disorder Panels, Metabolic Disease Testing Panels, Neurodegenerative Disease Testing Panels, Ophthalmology Genetics, Sports Genetics, Pharmacogenetics and so on.

About me

During my academic career, I gained practical experience in gene editing and recombinant DNA and protein technologies. In the field of genetic diagnostics, a significant part of my career involved conducting Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) studies, which require essential laboratory skills, work tracking, teamwork, and data analysis. Building on my solid background in biotechnology, molecular biology, and genetics, I have recently focused on enhancing my skills in project writing and taking responsibility for the preparation and management of national and international projects. I actively follow the calls of national (such as TÜBİTAK) and international (such as HORIZON Europe, Eureka, EEN) funding organizations for R&D budgets. Additionally, I participate in networking events to gain insights and connections, and I prepare project proposals aligned with these calls. To stay up-to-date with the advancements in genomics and DNA sequencing, I aim to further develop my knowledge in bioinformatics while strengthening my capabilities in multidisciplinary project development, organization, and execution within the private sector.
