Great Success from Istanbul Gelisim University's Forensic Genetics Project!

The projects of undergraduate students in science, mathematics and related fields, which were supported and completed or ongoing within the scope of TUBITAK 2209-A and 2209-A University Students Research Projects, met with the scientific world in the workshop organized for the second time. Istanbul Gelisim University students achieved great success at the 2209 A/B Science and Mathematics Student Projects Workshop hosted by Yıldız Technical University.

Project in Forensic Genetics Became First

Istanbul Gelisim University participated in the workshop with nine different projects and demonstrated a strong academic representation. One of these projects, the study titled "Estimation of Eye, Hair and Skin Color from a Small Amount of Blood Stains Obsolete by Holding in Different Fabric Types", was awarded the first prize in the field of Molecular Biology and Genetics.

This project, which was prepared in the field of forensic genetics, focuses on predicting phenotypes from small amounts of blood samples that have degraded over time on different fabric surfaces in crime scene investigations. At the same time, the effects of fabric types and biological degradation on the analysis process are also evaluated experimentally and contributed to the scientific literature.
The project is carried out by Gül Gülhan, and the consultancy is provided by the Head of the Autopsy Assistant Program of the Vocational School of Health Services Asst. Prof. İlksen Sarı O. While Yağmur Demir, Fatih İsmail Yüksel and Yeşim Kılıç were included in the research team, the presentation of the project was made by Yağmur Demir.

Investing in the Future with Contribution to Science

Encouraging its students to produce original projects at the undergraduate level, Istanbul Gelisim University continues to support scientific productivity with its interdisciplinary studies. The university aims to provide an inspiring research environment for young researchers by shaping its studies in this field on the axis of sustainability, social benefit and scientific progress.
