Zeliha Yalcin

Biography

I am Zeliha and I did a Master in Biomolecular Sciences at the Vrije Universiteit (VU) in Amsterdam. My first internship was at the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) in the group of Huib Ovaa, where I characterized and inhibited deubiquitinating enzymes in Trypanosoma brucei. My second internship was at the Leiden University Medical Center in the group of Marjolein Kikkert, where I studied the function of conserved cysteines in Equine arteritis virus non-structural protein 2. In December 2012, I joined the lab of Jacqueline Jacobs as a PhD student, where I work on ubiquitination in the telomere damage response.
