Hoping to leave a legacy of scientists who work smart as much as they work hard, Onur Kanisicak is well on his way to changing the world. Onur earned his BS in Biomedical Sciences at Istanbul University in his home country of Turkey. He then achieved both his MS in Genetics and PhD in Genetics and Genomics at the University of Connecticut. Onur is currently a postdoctoral research fellow for the Molkentin Laboratory at the Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, OH. He is proud of being a collaborative scientist and the recognitions of his research, such as his published work, and the Postdoctoral fellowship award from the American Heart Association. Onur Kanisicak If you ask my mom, she would say I was always curious about science. She has plenty of stories where I disassembled my toys to figure out how they work; when I wanted to do the same with insects, she patiently showed me how and where to keep them. My family lived in the city, but we would often visit parks and the country where I could roam freely for hours to explore what nature had to offer. As early as I can remember, I wanted to be a medical doctor—that is the normal path in Turkey if you were interested in biology. Eventually, my interest grew more toward understanding how the human body works rather than just seeing patients. For college, I was able to get into a unique program at the Istanbul University Cerrahpasa School of Medicine in the Department of Biomedical Sciences. This program aimed to generate scientists within the human medicine field. While taking classes, I volunteered in various laboratories to be exposed to research as much as possible, which inspired me to establish my own research group one day. Unfortunately, the scope …

奥努尔·卡尼斯卡克（Onur Kanisicak）

Onur Kanisicak希望留下一批精明勤奋的科学家，Onur Kanisicak致力于改变世界。Onur在他的祖国土耳其的伊斯坦布尔大学获得了生物医学科学学士学位。然后，他在康涅狄格大学获得了遗传学硕士学位和遗传与基因组学博士学位。Onur目前是俄亥俄州辛辛那提市儿童医院医疗中心Molkentin实验室的博士后研究员。他以能够成为一名协作科学家和对自己研究的认可而感到自豪，例如他发表的著作以及获得美国心脏协会的博士后研究金。Onur Kanisicak如果您问我妈妈，她会说我一直对科学感到好奇。她讲了很多故事，在这些故事中，我分解了玩具以弄清楚它们的工作方式。当我想对昆虫做同样的事情时，她耐心地向我展示了如何以及在哪里饲养它们。我的家人住在城市，但是我们经常会去公园和这个国家，在那里我可以自由漫游几个小时，以探索自然所能提供的东西。早在我记得的时候，我就想当一名医生-如果您对生物学感兴趣，那是土耳其的正常做法。最终，我对了解人体如何工作的兴趣更多，而不仅仅是看病人。对于大学，我能够进入伊斯坦布尔大学生物医学系的Cerrahpasa医学学院的独特课程。该计划旨在培养人类医学领域的科学家。在上课时，我自愿在各个实验室中进行了尽可能多的研究，激发了我一天建立自己的研究小组的灵感。不幸的是，范围……
