What I'm looking for

I am seeking a clinical research site role where I can apply protocol-driven lab experience, SOP and QC skills, and strong documentation to support study operations and regulatory compliance.

I am a B.Sc. Chemistry graduate from Middle East Technical University with over three years of hands-on research experience in TÜBİTAK-funded biomolecular interaction projects. I have designed experiments, optimized PCR/cloning and recombinant protein expression pipelines, performed HPLC/SEC purifications, LC-MS sample preparation, and binding analyses using Circular Dichroism, while preparing formal TÜBİTAK progress reports and SOPs.

I am disciplined in protocol-driven, regulated environments with strong data integrity, traceability and archiving skills, and experience managing international academic collaborations and project coordination. I am aiming to transition into clinical research site operations where I can apply my experimental design, documentation rigor, and quality-control experience to ensure reliable study conduct and regulatory compliance.
