Assistant Professor Tunay DOĞAN serves at Istinye University within the Vocational School of Health Services, Department of Medical Services and Techniques. His position focuses on training healthcare professionals through a vocational education framework, integrating clinical practice with biomedical science.
His academic foundation includes an undergraduate degree in Genetics and Bioengineering from Okan University Faculty of Engineering, where he graduated in 2017 as department valedictorian and honors recipient.
Dr. DOĞAN's research program centers on medical biology with dual emphases: cancer mechanisms (bladder cancer epigenetics, uveal melanoma biomarkers, tuberous sclerosis) and genetic disorders (Alport syndrome, kidney disease genomics). His methodology spans molecular techniques including whole-exome sequencing, microRNA profiling, and genetic polymorphism analysis to investigate disease pathways and diagnostic markers. This work consistently bridges laboratory findings with clinical applications in nephrology, oncology, and inflammatory conditions.
His publication trajectory since 2019 shows increasing sophistication in genomic approaches, with recent work (2022-2024) emphasizing next-generation sequencing applications for rare diseases and liquid biopsy development in ocular cancers. The research demonstrates strong Turkish cohort focus while contributing to international understanding of genotype-phenotype relationships.
His scientific recognition includes:
- Top student of Genetics and Bioengineering department (Okan University, 2017)
- Honors graduate distinction (Okan University, 2017)
As vocational faculty, his primary responsibilities involve curriculum development and instruction for medical technicians, with research serving as complementary scholarly activity. While formal supervision structures aren't documented, his active publication record suggests opportunities for student involvement in laboratory-based medical research projects. The vocational context implies strong emphasis on translational applications rather than theoretical inquiry.
His work operates within institutional laboratory facilities supporting molecular diagnostics and genetic analysis, though no dedicated research group is specified in available materials. Current projects appear focused on expanding genomic characterization of Turkish patient cohorts in kidney disorders and ocular cancers.
