Nihal Aykun

My research focuses on graft modification through gene therapy and novel therapeutic drug delivery during ex vivo perfusion to enhance transplant outcomes.  I aspire to become a transplant surgeon who integrates cutting-edge research with clinical practice to improve patient care. Outside the laboratory, I'm passionate about scuba diving and photography - I find great joy in exploring underwater environments and capturing compelling images that tell a story.
