Dr. Seda Kızılel received her B.S. and MSc. degrees from the Department of Chemical Engineering, Boğaziçi University, İstanbul. She completed her PhD at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Illinois Institute of Technology in 2004 and was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Chicago between 2004-2007. Dr. Kızılel joined as a faculty of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Koç University, İstanbul in 2008. Dr Kızılel’s research focuses on the unique design of responsive hydrogel particles to address the lack of secretion of a protein/hormone such as insulin, utilization of these particles to protect cells from immune attack, induces secretion of signaling chemokines from cells to recruit Tregs for long-term functional grafts. Dr Kızılel has supervised over 22 MS and 15 PhD students and postdocs, and attracted a total grant budget of ~3.5 million Euros since 2008, carried out 23 projects, which received funding from Turkish Scientific & Research Council (TÜBİTAK), European Commission and industrial companies. Some of the awards Dr Kızılel received includes Outstanding Faculty Award at Koç University in 2018, Turkish Academy of Sciences (TUBA, PI) Supported L’ORÉAL Young Women in Science Award in 2009, European Commission Marie Curie Fellowship FP7-PEOPLE-IRG (Reintegration Grant) (2008), Charles Huggins Annual Research Conference, Best Laboratory Research Award at the University of Chicago in 2006.
