Ayşe Erdoğan

Ayşe Erdoğan is an Associate Professor at Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University, Faculty of Engineering, Department of Genetics and Bioengineering. Her research focuses on Molecular Cancer Biology, particularly mechanisms of Cancer Drug Resistance and Antioxidant Mechanisms in cancer cells.

• PhD in Biology, Akdeniz University (2010-2016)
• Master’s in Biology (with thesis), Akdeniz University (2007-2010)
• Bachelor’s in Molecular Biology and Genetics, Haliç University (2003-2007)

Her work investigates how essential oils and their components (e.g., linalool, thymol) induce cytotoxicity and apoptosis in cancer cell lines (Hep G2, A549, H1299), with a focus on drug resistance reversal and membrane damage. She has collaborated on studies combining monoclonal antibodies (cetuximab) and metal solutions to enhance chemotherapeutic efficacy.

Notable scientific awards include TUBITAK domestic scholarships for her PhD (2010) and Master’s (2007), and ERASMUS+ mobility (2018). She has published extensively in SCI/ESCI journals and presented at international conferences like FEBS and EurasianBioChem.

As Head of Department (2019-2022) and Erasmus Coordinator (2019), she has led academic and administrative initiatives. Her full description details projects, editorial roles, and collaborations.
