About our speaker:
Cihan Aydin is an Assistant Professor in the Molecular Biology and Genetics Department at the Istanbul Medeniyet University, in Turkey. For his PhD, he focused on work in small molecule drug development, qSAR, structural biology and enzymology, for discerning protein-drug dynamics. He also has experience working with recombinant DNA technologies like CRISPR, protein expression and purification. Nowadays, his focus is on antimicrobial resistance mechanisms in bacteria, optimising commercially important enzymes through saturation mutagenesis, and working on a solution for biological degradation of PP and PE. He will share about his personal experiences on becoming a DIYer, and starting a lab in Turkey, under challenging economic and social circumstances.
It was truly an inspiring session dr. Cihan and i truly hope to hear more about your current work, i think we face common challenges in many aspects and wish to contact you for collaborations.
Thank you reclone.org for your excellent choice of speakers!
Hello,
Thank you.
That was an impressive presentation. I tried to review the recordings of Cihan Aydin "From Kits to DIY - Breaking Even for a Lab on a Tight Budge"t and I was not able to find them under meetings.
Is this Zoom recording available at another URL?
Our apologies about the delay in uploading Cihan’s video, we are a little behind in processing the video to upload, but aim for it to be uploaded by the start of next week.
When it’s ready, we’ll post the direct link to it in this thread, and it will also be available on our Reclone YouTube channel at that point.
In the meantime, we’ll be posting a summary of the talk shortly, and I’m sure if you have any further questions, you can also post it here for Cihan.
On March 20th, we hosted an insightful Community Call with @Cihan_Aydin. He shared about his current work “From Kits to DIY - Breaking Even for a Lab on a Tight Budget”
He learned about “Do it yourself” (DIY) applications in life sciences from the work of Pipette Jockey, and saw this approach as an alternative to overcome obstacles in his research . Cihan has been doing inspiring work, and is looking forward to continue sharing his knowledge - you can check some of his protocols here on our forum: Cihan's Cookbook (Tried and True Recipes)
