Hej, I am Fatih and an assistant professor and my background is biology with a profound experience in mass spectrometry and corresponding method development. My focus is especially on proteolysis, the processing of proteins by proteases which plays a major role for many diseases. Currently, I am conducting research to identify and modulate proteolytic activity in several human diseases to improve treatment, with a particular focus on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Mit forskningsfokus er på proteolyse, især inden for komplementsystemet i den menneskelige autoimmune sygdom systemisk lupus erythematosus (SLE). Ved hjælp af selvudviklede massespektrometriske metoder, jeg identificere mekanismer for sygdomsprogression og inflammation. Min forskning bidrager til, at SLE-patienter kan få en mere effektiv og målrettet behandling for at forbedre deres livskvalitet.

I teach prospective MDs in the study programme bachelor of medicine. With the help of tutorials and bachelor projects, my goal is to enable the students to identify cutting edge complement/protease research relevant in a patient context. I have also contributed to several chapters in the Methods in Molecular Biology book series (MIMB, V2447 and MIMB, V1574) about mass spectrometry-based methods for proteolysis research and corresponding data analysis and validation.

My primary area of responsibility is performing research in human diseases and teaching bachelor students in medicine.
