Osman Doluca

Osman Doluca is an Associate Professor in the Biomedical Engineering department at Izmir University of Economics. He completed his PhD at Massey University (New Zealand) developing chemically modified DNA probes for studying non-canonical DNA structures like triple helices and G-quadruplexes.

• Education: PhD in Molecular Biology, Massey University, New Zealand
• Current Role: Associate Professor, Biomedical Engineering Department

His research focuses on:

• Computational identification of G-quadruplex structures
• Development of bioinformatics tools for molecular biologists
• Functional analysis of non-canonical DNA/RNA structures
• Design of miRNA detection kits
• Application of sequencing technologies in metagenomics
• Chemical modification of nucleic acids

Recent publications highlight his work in DNA structure prediction algorithms, comparative sequencing analysis, and computational methods for biological network community detection. His research integrates bioinformatics with experimental validation to explore genomic elements' functional roles.
