Firat

My name is Firat and I graduated from University of Bristol in 2019, achieving a First Class Honours in Biochemistry. I achieved AAA at A Levels which included Chemistry, Biology and Economics. I am excited to share my knowledge and expertise with my students. I am currently working as a Scientist at a Pharmaceutical Firm.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: BSc (Hons), Biochemistry, September 2016 - June 2019
First Class Honours, University of Bristol

Main subjects studied:
Advanced biochemistry (71%), advanced cell biology (74%), the dynamic proteome (73%), cellular composition (84%), Biological Chemistry 1B powering biomolecular interactions (73%)

Final year project (graded 76%)
• My project outlines how the conjugation of synthetic, fusogenic, GALA peptide to the exterior of self-assembling peptide cages (SAGEs) which encase therapeutic compounds, can facilitate their endosomal escape.
• Evaluated the use of GALA by exploring the issue of endosomal entrapment of SAGE particles through the available literature, critically analysing information pertaining to this problem, such as the current methods involving the ‘proton-sponge effect’.

A-Levels, September 2014 – June 2016

EXPERIENCE
Formulation Scientist, May 2020 – Present

Responsibilities:
Using my initiative, proven data-driven approaches and following standard operating protocols as a scientist at Catalent, I am involved in developing drug candidates into first-in-man studies and advancing them into formulated products. My role is predominantly laboratory based; where I plan and execute feasibility studies to produce GLP pharmaceutical products which involves operating a series of high-tech equipment, such as the viscometer. I am also responsible for presenting experimental findings to clients as well as compiling technical documents on the operation of equipment, such as the particle size analyser.
