There, she obtained a student success award as well as a İhsan Doğramacı superior success award realized by Hacettepe University. While studying as a MSc student, she worked as nutritionist in the Acıbadem Hospital in Istanbul, and later worked as a research assistant at Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Hacettepe University. In 2006 she received her master’s degree and continued to work as research assistant in the same department. In August 2007 she received a fellowship as talented PhD student from the Council of Higher Education of Turkey (YÖK). With this fellowship, she worked as PhD student in the Department of Biochemistry at the Cardiovascular Research Institute Maastricht (CARIM) of Maastricht University. The research performed was supervised by Prof. Dr. J.W.M. Heemskerk. She obtained the status of Article 9 expert according to the Netherlands Law on Animal Experiments. Recenty, she visited congresses in Birmingham (United Kingdom), Wittenberg (Germany), Boston (USA) and Nürnberg (Germany), Kyoto (Japan), Vancouver (Canada), Maastricht (Netherlands), St Petersburg (Russia) and obtained several prices. As a Post-doc and lecturer she has scientific projects and undergraduate/postgraduate students. The field of interest is nutritional sciences, nutritional biochemistry and metabolism. From August 2012, she is employed as Assistant Professor by Hacettepe University, Turkey. 2 Work Experiences Nutritionist and Dietitican – Acıbadem Hospital İstanbul, Turkey 2003-2005 Research Assistant - Hecettepe University Ankara,Turkey 2005-2012 PhD fellow/student - Maastricht University Maastricht,The Netherlands 2007-2011 Postdoc fellow - Hacettepe University Ankara,Turkey 2011-2012 Assistant Proffessor - Hacettepe University Ankara,Turkey 2012- until now Education BSc Degree, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey, 1998-2003 - GPA: 3,42 (over 4) MSc Degree, Institute of Health Sciences, Division of Nutritional Sciences, Hacettepe University, Ankara, 2003-2006 GPA: 3,64 (over 4) PhD Degree, Faculty of Health Medicine and Life Sciences, Department of Biochemistry CARIM, University of Maastricht, The Netherlands , 2007- 2011 Language profiency Turkish: native language English: excellent , TOEFL Certifaced Dutch : elementary/intermediate Fultext Articles (SCI indexed international papers) 1.
