The University of Manchester, United Kingdom
Nihan is a research associate at the Centre for Applied Pharmacokinetic Research (CAPKR) at the University of Manchester, UK. She received her BSc degree in Pharmacy in 2014 and earned her PhD in biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics in 2020 from Hacettepe University, Turkey in collaboration with CAPKR.
Her research interests include preclinical and clinical metabolism- and transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions, physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling, quantitative proteomics, pharmaceutical formulation design, and bioanalytical method development.
Between 2014 and 2021, Nihan worked as a research and teaching assistant at Hacettepe University. In October 2021, she joined CAPKR and completed her studies on PBPK modelling for human aldehyde oxidase. She is currently working on the CAPKR Consortium-funded project focused on liquid biopsy and endogenous biomarkers, aiming to enhance or replace specific drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies in patient populations.
