About the editors
Ayşegül Doğan received her PhD from Yeditepe University in Istanbul, Turkey, where she is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Genetics and Bioengineering. She works with the Gene and Cell Therapy group at the University’s Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory, and is a member of stem cell and cellular therapy societies in Turkey. Her research focuses on mesenchymal stem cells, gene and cell therapy, cancer and wound healing. Dr. Doğan is currently working with dental stem cells obtained from wisdom teeth of young adults and the potential use of these cells in gene and stem cell therapy applications.
Selami Demirci received his PhD from the department of Genetics and Bioengineering at the University of Yeditepe in Istanbul, Turkey. He is currently a Research fellow at the same department. Dr. Demirci isa member of the Stem Cell and Cellular Therapies Society, Turkey, and has completed several projects on dental stem cell maintenance and differentiation towards desired cell lineages for a particular regeneration approaches. His ongoing studies includes gene functions in stem cell, wound healing and regenerative medicine.
