MSc. M. Beyza Çetin completed her undergraduate study at the Department of Biology in İstanbul University, and she took her master degree from the Department of Physiology, Istanbul University School of Medicine. She has been enrolled in the PhD programme in 2010 at the Department of Physiology in İstanbul University, Cerrahpaşa School of Medicine and she is now at the thesis completion stage. During her undergraduate study she has been involved in various research projects as an intern in the Cell Culture Laboratory of Department of Physiology. Beyza Çetin completed her master study with a thesis entitled “The Apoptotic Effects of Corticosteroids on Haemopoietic Stem Cells and The Modulation of These Effects with Several Cytokines”, and during her master years she has been actively involved in research projects about new drug discovery and design, in vitro drug cytotoxicity and viability tests, development of biopolymers in tissue engineering and cancer immunology. Her PhD thesis is based on the neuroprotective effects of di-methyl-tryptamine (DMT) on primary cortical and hippocampal neurons in in vivo brain trauma and in vitro ischemia models.
Beyza Çetin is currently working as a lecturer in İstanbul Medipol University, School of Medicine, Department of Physiology. In REMER, Çetin investigates molecular/cellular mechanisms underlying motor neuron diseases by using molecular, immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical methods on primary cell culture and in vivo models. She is also involved in research project related to nanoparticle conjugated drug delivery in neurodegenerative diseases with applying the methods of constructing in vitro blood-brain barrier in new drug discovery and design, in vitro drug cytotoxicity and viability tests. Another research field of Çetin in REMER is to investigate molecular/cellular mechanisms of retinal damage seen in neurodegenerative disorders by using in vitro electrophysiologic and immunocytochemical methods on primary retinal ganglion cell culture and in vivo models based upon advanced microscopy techniques and to develop neuroprotective agents.
