Turkey
Dr. Ayhan Celik graduated from the Blacksea Technical University, Trabzon, Turkey, in 1993 with his B.A. degree in Chemistry with Education. Then he received M.Sc. in Analytical Science at the University of Hull, UK.,in 1997. He was awarded his Ph.D. degree in 2001 for a thesis on ‘Utilizing Haem Enzymes in Catalytic Oxidation Chemistry’, at the University of Leicester, UK. A subsequent Research Assistant/Associate at the University of Edinburgh involved the application of Cytochrome P450 enzymes in fine chemical synthesis. In 2005, he joined the University of Oxford, where he worked on Biocatalytic CO2 sequestering and conversion into various potentially high value chemicals. In 2008, he has moved to Gebze Institute of Technology where he is currently working as an Associate Professor of Biochemistry.
Dr. Ayhan Celik Research intersts includes Cloning, Protein Engineering, Enzyme structure/function relationship, Biocatalysis, Biotransformation, High Throughput Screening (HTS), Enzyme kinetics, Immobilization, Novel assay developments.
