Biography
Dr. Devrim Öz Arslan received her BS in Biology from Istanbul University. She completed her MSc in Immunology and PhD in Biophysics at Marmara University. During her PhD she studied G proteins and signal transduction in Dr. Kan’s Laboratory at Marmara University. After a while she was awarded by Norway Research Council and she examined GPCR mediated signal transduction pathways in dendritic cells in Dr. Maghazachi’s Laboratory at University of Oslo. She focused on immune response of dendritic cells following transduction with various viral vectors in Dr. Mavromara’s Laboratory at Hellenic Pasteur Institute, Greece, as a post-doctoral researcher. She continued her work on autophagy and cell death in Dr. Gozuacik’s Laboratory at Sabanci University. She has been working in the Department of Biophysics, School of Medicine at Acibadem University as a faculty member since 2010.
