Profile

I am a massive fan of Spider-Man ever since I was a kid. He was my first super hero and the first ever comic book I bought. I love reading varies genres of books from history to Sci-fi. I have a TARDIS at my desk, my favourite Doctor is David Tennant followed very closely by Matt Smith. I’m Turkish and moved to UK back in 2020. I obtained my masters degree from Coventry University. Since then I worked in the lab as a Scientist, as a Biomarker Specialist and currently I’m working as a Data Scientist/Data Wrangler in the Medical Research Council at Harwell. I work in an International Mouse Phenotyping project, IMPC (International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium).

I support the IMPC data generating centres that I’m responsible for in all aspects of data submission, data QC (quality control), data corrections and troubleshooting.

I attend, participate and present at international meetings, teleconferences and conferences. I advise on improvements to the procedures to ensure accurate data.

I evaluate the success of particular IMPC Procedures through analyses and interpretation of key data.

I am also responsible for managing the social media channels, web content management.

I have flexible schedule so I can arrange my weekly time according to the late meetings and can finish early another day. Twice a year, six-monthly intervals, we have data freeze times that lasts a month and during those time 80% my time spent on data QC and data analysis. The rest of the year, my work changes depending on the needs of the centres and working groups. I can help them troubleshoot their issues as well as provide them with key information by analysing the data that has been submitted by the wider consortium.
