PhD Stu. İrem Çoksu

She has graduated from the Department of Bioengineering at Yıldız Technical University in 2019. In July 2022, she completed her master's thesis on antimicrobial peptide-based, bacteria-targeted polymeric nanoparticles and received her master's degree in bioengineering. She is now a PhD student in the Bioengineering department at the Yildiz Technical University. Irem’s research interests are mainly drug delivery systems, but she has recently focused on solid phase peptide synthesis​.
