Biography
I am an Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology Specialist and Data Analyst. I earned my M.D. and completed my residency at the Gulhane Military Medical Academy in Turkey, and previously served as a Yale School of Medicine Research Scholar focused on HIV research. Drawing on my clinical background in medical virology and infection control, my overarching goal today is to advance the understanding and treatment of Wilson Disease by seamlessly integrating traditional clinical medicine with innovative, data-driven approaches.
