MITOEAGLE
- Benefits for COST and for the COST Action MITOEAGLE
- I am running my own lab for the last five years, my research interest in this area focuses on metabolic diseases including insulin resistance, diabetes, obesity and atherosclerosis. My lab has received competitive funding in this area from sources such as ERC, Marie Curie and EMBO, and therefore, our infrastructure is set up to be able to carry out these studies at Bilkent University. Currently, I am preparing a proposal for studying unique molecules that connect ER and mitochondria in the mammalian cells. I am particularly interested in adipoctye, liver and innate immune system cells as they contribute to the above diseases'pathogenesis.
