University of Groningen, The Netherlands
Dr. Armagan Kocer studied Biology at the Middle East Technical University (Turkey). She did her Ph.D. at the same university in collaborated with Prof. G.T. Robillard at the University of Groningen and studied a killer yeast toxin. In 2011, she joined BiOMaDe Technology Foundation as a research scientist, during which she specialized in synthetic biology and electrophysiology as a means of modifying and studying the gating properties of a bacterial mechanosensitive ion channel. Between 2002 and 2007 she worked at BiOMaDe as a senior scientist. At the end of 2007, she received two prestigious personal development grants from The Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research Innovational Research Incentives Scheme Grant (NWO-Vidi) and European Research Council ERC-Starting Grant and launched her own research group at the University of Groningen. Her research interests are ion channels, mechanosensation at the molecular level, bio-hybrid sensors, triggered liposomal drug delivery, and synthetic biology.
