Serdar Altunay
He holds a B.Sc degree in Biology from Istanbul University. He got his M.Sc degree in Medical Physiology from Istanbul Medipol University, SABİTA. His M.Sc studies were related to investigation of stroke (MCAO) and animal behavior. He is currently a PhD student of Neuroscience in Istanbul Medipol University, SABİTA and channeled his interest to virus production and circadian rhythm in stroke.Selected Publications;
