Short CV

Burcu Türkgenç was born in Giresun in 1981. She received her B. A. from the Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Hacettepe University in 2003. Afterward, Türkgenç received her M.S from the Department of Biotechnology, Faculty of Science, Hacettepe University in 2007, and completed her Ph.D. from the Department of Medical Biology and Genetics, Marmara University in 2016. She commenced her career as a project assistant in the Gene Mapping Laboratory, Department of Pediatric Hematology, İhsan Doğramacı Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Hacettepe University in 2004. She worked as a Biology Specialist/Molecular Biologist/Coordinator in various genetic diagnosis centers in Istanbul between 2007 and 2021. She obtained the title of Assistant Professor in Medical Biology and Genetics in 2021. 
Her Ph.D. study was supported by the Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology (San-Tez) Project. During this project, Türkgenç studied the molecular mechanisms of hereditary cardiological rhythm disorders, including Long QT Syndrome. Türkgenç, who has many studies and publications in the different subfields of human genetics including single gene and complex gene disorders (e.g. Cardiogenetics, Immunogenetics, Neurogenetics, Cancer Genetics, Skeletal, Connective Tissue, and Skin Diseases Genetics, Infertility…), has been working as an assistant professor in the Department of Medical Biology, Faculty of Medicine, Üsküdar University since 2022.
