Assistant Professor
Division of Nutritional Sciences
University of Illinois at urbana champaign
United States of America
She has done her B.S. Bilkent University Ankara, Turkey 1998-2002, Ph.D. University of Illinois,Urbana-Champaign Urbana, IL, USA 2004-2009. She improves the quality of life for postmenopausal women and breast cancer survivors by understanding how diet and nutrition affect hormone action. Her lab uses multiscale modeling of –omics data from patient samples, animal models, and cell lines to understand the molecular basis of metabolic regulation by estrogen receptors and endocrine resistance.
