Assist. Prof. Mehmet Ozansoy, Ph.D.
I am a molecular biologist working in the field of neuroscience. My main focus is to elucidate the molecular/cellular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative disorders, especially Alzheimer's Disease, I am currently working on the mechanistic relationships between systemic inflammation and neurodegeneration in various in vitro models.
