Diving deep into biology, let's explore!

Hello 👋 

My name is Gamze Bulut. I am originally from Antalya, Turkey. I studied Molecular Biology and Genetics at Bilkent University Ankara, Turkey. I came to the USA in 2008 for my PhD studies at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, TX.

 

• In Dr. Lily Huang’s laboratory, I worked on Cell Biology of red blood cells and how our bodies regulate the signaling pathways required for generating the right number of erythrocytes.

• In my post graduate work, I investigated how alternative splicing impacts lung inflammation/cancer under Dr. Charles Chalfant’s supervision at Virginia Commonwealth University.

• In Dr. Gary K. Owens’s laboratory, I studied perivascular plasticity and adipose tissue inflammation upon diet induced obesity.

• In 2021, I worked as a Research Associate in Dr. Judith Voynow's team at VCU, Pediatrics trying to understand how neutrophil elastase impairs macrophage function using human blood monocyte derived macrophages. 

• I worked as a Visiting Assistant Teaching Professor at the College of William and Mary, Department of Biology. I taught 'Molecular Cell Biology (BIOL 310)' and 'Diseases and Cures of the 2020s (BIOL 460)', Cell Biology Labs (BIOL 404). I also had an active research group and a wonderful team of Teaching Assistants. Explore other links to see what we have done in classes to have fun. 

• I am going back to VCU as a Research Scientist to work for Dr. David Turner and Dr. Victoria Findlay in the Massey Cancer Center. Stay tuned for research updates!

Have a wonderful day 💐
