SABITALKS / Autophagy and Cancer
Prof. Devrim Gözüaçık from Koç University is going to be at SABITALKS on March 19 at 14:00. The event will take place in person. You can attend the event in person in CZ-O5 Amfi.
Location: Istanbul Medipol University Kavacık North Campus: https://goo.gl/maps/JDDjygVtFLWiPiMJA
*Participants from outside SABITA must fill in the participation form.
Gozuacik Lab focuses on the discovery and study of novel molecules (i.e. proteins, RNAs, metabolites), signals and signaling pathways regulating cellular stress and death responses, and especially autophagy. These discoveries lead to a better understanding of the role of autophagy in health and disease (e.g. Cancer, degenerative diseases), and allow for the development of novel diagnostic, follow-up and treatment strategies.
