معرفی
Dr. Havva Aybek serves as Assistant Professor in the Pharmacy Services Department at Bingöl University's School of Health Services in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey, where she has held academic positions since 2018. Her role integrates advanced biochemical research with comprehensive pharmaceutical education in a regionally focused institution committed to academic excellence and community engagement.
Her academic credentials include:
- Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, Mersin University (2003-2007)
- Master of Science in Biochemistry, Çukurova University (2008-2010)
- Doctorate in Biochemistry, Bingöl University (2014-2021)
Dr. Aybek's research program centers on enzyme kinetics and cancer biochemistry, with specialized investigations into chemotherapeutic mechanisms using MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. She pioneers nanomedicine approaches through studies of C60 nanoparticle interactions with conventional drugs like 5-Fluorouracil, while maintaining foundational work in enzyme purification and immobilization techniques. Her recent expansion into secondary metabolites, therapeutic proteins, and COVID-19-related biochemistry demonstrates evolving interdisciplinary reach.
Analysis of her 2020 publications reveals a strategic convergence of nanotechnology and oncology, with dual publications examining nanoparticle-enhanced cytotoxicity and apoptotic pathways in breast cancer models. This work bridges molecular enzymology (glutathione s-transferase modulation) with translational therapeutic development, establishing a distinctive niche in cancer nanomedicine within Turkey's academic landscape.
Dr. Aybek actively secures research funding through Bingöl University's Scientific Research Projects Unit, currently leading investigations into synergistic drug-nanoparticle cancer therapies. While specific student advising details aren't public, her teaching portfolio spanning General Biochemistry to Drug Poisoning Information indicates substantial undergraduate mentorship in pharmaceutical sciences. Her participation in international conferences and multi-author book chapters reflects commitment to knowledge dissemination across national boundaries.
