L’Oréal - Program for Women in Science is in its 20th Year in Turkey
16 Dec 2022L'Oréal Türkiye has been running the "For Women in Science" program in cooperation with the UNESCO Turkish National Commission for 20 years; It is implemented to support gender equality in science, to encourage women's contribution to science, and to crown the achievements of our young and talented women scientists and ensure their greater recognition.
In the 20th year of the program; Four young and talented scientists, who are promising with their comprehensive and innovative projects and who contribute to the development of science with their inspiring work, were deemed worthy of an award, and each of them was entitled to receive 120,000 TL support to use in their scientific research.
Today, the world is changing very quickly and in many aspects. While humanity has to face unpredictable and sudden developments, the entire world is going through difficult socio-economic, environmental and social tests. In these extraordinary circumstances, we all know very well that we need scientists and scientific research more than ever.
L'Oreal Group, the leading Techno-Beauty company, has science in its DNA and has positioned science at the center of its business since the day it was founded; With its "For Women in Science" program, it continues to raise awareness about ensuring gender equality in science all over the world and to take concrete steps to empower women working in the field of science.
IN THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE PROGRAM, 4 MORE TURKISH SCIENTISTS SHAPING THE FUTURE BY DIRECTING SCIENCE!
L'Oréal Türkiye is among the 5 countries that support the "For Women in Science" program the most in the world. On its 20th anniversary this year, the program once again attracted great attention from women scientists from all over our country, and the application process was completed with the successful projects of nearly 100 candidates. The applications were evaluated by an independent UNESCO jury in the program, where applications were evaluated in two categories: "Life and Environmental Sciences" and "Physical Sciences". Four young and talented scientists, who are promising with their comprehensive and innovative scientific research and who contribute to the development of science with their inspiring work, were deemed worthy of an award, and each of them was entitled to receive 120,000 TL support to use in their scientific research.
L'Oréal Türkiye General Manager Sinem Sandıkçı Gökçen, UNESCO Türkiye National Commission President Prof. Dr. Scientists who introduced their projects at the launch attended by M. Öcal Oğuz, writer and actress Gülse Birsel; They were selected considering criteria such as their academic CVs, the contribution of their research to science, the feasibility, sustainability and scientific innovation of the project. 4 young scientists under the age of 40, each of whom continues their research at universities, working on important projects for humanity; environment, medicine, technology, energy, industry etc. It carries out exciting work in many areas such as.
20. 4 YOUNG AND TALENTED SCIENCE WOMEN A YEAR
4 GROUNDBREAKING SCIENCE PROJECTS!
Dr. Burcu Bakır Güngör works to diagnose colorectal cancer, the third most common type of cancer in the world, faster and to develop personalized treatment.
Colorectal cancer (CRC), the third most common type of cancer worldwide; It occurs due to genetic mutations, environmental conditions and anomalies in the intestinal microbiota. Although some studies have attempted to reveal the composition and functional capacity of the gut microbiome related to CRC, a comprehensive picture of the gut microbiome in CRC patients cannot be drawn. Dr. Güngör's project aims to create a robust classification model that can help rapid diagnosis of CRC by analyzing different CRC-related metagenomic datasets with various machine learning and artificial intelligence methods, discovering CRC-associated taxonomic biomarkers, CRC-associated population-specific micro-organisms and subgroups of CRC patients. The project is also expected to uncover microbiome-mediated mechanisms of CRC. Dr. Thanks to the model he will develop, Güngör aims to minimize the microbiota that can be used for CRC diagnosis, thus reducing the cost and time required for diagnosis. This project, which was implemented under the name "Discovery of Taxonomic Biomarkers of Colorectal Cancer from Human Intestinal Microbiota", will help determine biomarkers for personalized CRC treatment in addition to method diagnosis.
Dr. Buse Cevatemre is working to break the resistance to chemotherapy in prostate cancer.
Some cancer patients receiving chemotherapy may develop resistance to the drug used over time. This development of drug resistance observed in patients constitutes a major obstacle to treatment. Dr. Cevatemre's research focused on "How can we break drug resistance, how can we make cancer cells sensitive to drugs again?" and focused on a specific disease by asking this question specifically about prostate cancer. First of all, the research had to imitate the drug resistance problem observed in cancer patients in the laboratory and create a model that could be studied. As a result of experiments, Dr. discovered a target in drug-resistant prostate cancer cells that would enable them to respond to the same drug again. Buse Cevatemre and her team confirmed their findings with genetic and pharmacological approaches. Dr. Buse Cevatemre investigates how they overcome this resistance with her study titled "Investigation of the Role and Molecular Effect Mechanism of BRPF Group Epigenetic Regulators in Breaking Taxane Resistance in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancers".
Assoc. Dr. Damla Eroğlu Pala is working to develop lithium-sulfur batteries that have much higher energy and can operate for longer periods of time.
Lithium-sulfur batteries, which have much higher capacities than traditional batteries, will reduce carbon emissions and dependence on gasoline.
Lithium-sulfur batteries have been increasing in importance in recent years, thanks to their high theoretical energy and the fact that they contain materials that are more abundant in nature. However, in order for lithium-sulfur batteries to be commercialized, their energy density and cycle life, that is, their duration of use, need to be increased. Assoc. Dr. Damla Eroğlu Pala, with her project titled "Development of 3-Dimensional Nickel-Sulfur Composite Cathodes by Electrodeposition for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries with High Energy Density", produced 3-D nickel-sulfur composites by electrodeposition and produced lithium-sulfur batteries with high energy density and cycle life, which are much more powerful and can operate longer, with the resulting composite cathodes. aims to develop. In-depth examination of the connections between cathode design parameters and cell- and system-level performance in lithium-sulfur batteries is critical for these batteries to reach the desired level.
Assoc. Dr. With the Duygu Ağaoğulları project, Turkey, which has approximately 75% of the world's boron reserves, reveals the potential of using high-tech boron products.
With the project, our country's own resources will become much more efficient and profitable.
Assoc. Dr. Considering that our country has 75% of the world's boron reserves, Ağaoğulları aims to synthesize granular/particulate metal borides, which are terminal boron products, to hybridize the resulting borides, to transform them into advanced ceramic materials with sintering techniques, and to develop them by coating the surface with a two-dimensional material such as graphene. Thanks to the project; A very valuable new generation material group combining different groups such as powder material, ceramic material and two-dimensional graphene will be produced with our country's own resources. Although this material group has no industrial use worldwide, research has shown; It confirms that it is a material group with very high hardness, wear resistance, chemical stability and a very high potential for use in sectors such as the electronics industry, space/aircraft industry, defense industry and coating technologies. With this research, which was carried out under the name "Conversion of Domestic Boron Resources into Advanced Boride Particle & Ceramic Materials and Improvement of Surface Properties with Graphene Encapsulation", it will be possible to reveal the potential of using advanced technology boron products in domestic technological and industrial activities in Turkey, which has approximately 75% of the world's boron reserves, and thus our country's own resources will become much more efficient and profitable.
