Beyza Goncu
Beyza Goncu received her BS and MS in Molecular Biology and Genetics in 2007 and 2010, respectively. She obtained her Ph.D. in Biotechnology in 2018. Dr. Goncu has been involved in several scientific research projects funded by TUBITAK and the Research Funding Department of Bezmialem Vakif University (BVU), Turkey. She has published numerous journal papers, book chapters, and conference proceedings. She is a member of the European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT), Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation (MESOT), and the Association of Transplantation Immunology and Genetics (TIGED). Her main research area is parathyroid gland cell biology and parathyroid tissue-specific immunology. She also investigates other molecular and cellular biology fields, including therapeutic approaches. Her latest study revealed a significant outcome of tissue-specific immunogenicity through clinical features of parathyroid tissue. Dr. Goncu manages the Parathyroid Transplantation Laboratory at BVU Hospital, which aims to prepare transplantable grafts for treating hypoparathyroidism patients.
