Emine Kandemis completed her BSc studies in Medical Biology at Cerrahpaşa Medical School and pursued her MSc studies in Molecular Biology and Genetic Engineering at the University of Sussex. She attained her PhD from the University of Sussex. Her PhD Project involved in the investigation of genetic alterations in human breast and ovarian cancer. She had worked as a Post-doctoral research fellow at Kings College and Imperial College. She worked at the University of Sussex for 7 years as a research fellow and still collaborating with them for her research. She has been investigating the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of human diseases such as cancer and brain disorders. She has been working as an assistant professor at the Molecular Biology and Genetics Department of Biruni University since February 2017. She has been setting up the research and diagnostic laboratories at the Genome Centre employing advances technologies such as Next generation sequencing. In near future, she would like to focus on DNA damage and repair field where she gained extensive experience during her studies and research. She will employ these experiences to research into the broader area of genetic disorders.

Byung Yoon Choi has his expertise in evaluation and passion in gene editing and plant synthetic biology for producing high-quality meat. He is currently working with genes. He is expertise within the synthesis and investigation of physical and chemical properties of Nucleic Acids and their analogs and derivatives. One of other areas of his interests are: determination of thermodynamic parameters of DNA complexes formation. Investigation of spatial (2D and 3D) organization of DNA and DNA-protein complexes using physical methods.
