Ceyhun Toruntay

Ceyhun Toruntay is a Researcher in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics at Istanbul Technical University with an h-index of 15. His work bridges molecular biology, neurology, and nanotechnology, focusing on translational applications for disease diagnosis and therapy through six publications from 2022-2025.

His research centers on biomarker discovery for neurological disorders (cervical dystonia, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy) using microRNAs like miR-1179 and miR-526b-3p, alongside cancer biology investigations involving MAPK6-targeted nanoparticle therapies for breast cancer. Additional work explores nanotechnology applications for antibacterial coatings and toxicology studies on aspartame's hepatic effects, demonstrating interdisciplinary integration of molecular diagnostics and therapeutic development.

Publication trends reveal increasing focus on clinical translation: recent work combines molecular biomarker validation with nanomedicine platforms, including siRNA-loaded nanoparticles for cancer treatment and copper oxide nanocoatings for medical devices. Key themes include leveraging microRNA signatures for neurological disease diagnosis and developing targeted nanotherapeutics with clinical applicability.
