Ayşegül Demiral

Ayşegül Demiral received her B.Sc. degree from Istanbul Medipol University, Biomedical Engineering department. The topic of her graduation project was preparation of theranostic agents of gold nanoparticles and comparison of bio-efficacies in breast cancer cell line. Later on, she achieved her M.Sc. degree from Istanbul Medipol University, Molecular Medicine and Biotechnology department. Her master thesis was ‘Development of Cathepsin B activated Theranostic System and Evaluation of it Against Ovarian Cancer Cell Line’. Her current research interests include nanoparticles, theranostic agents, cancer therapeutics, biotechnology, and nanomedicine.
