Sinem ÇELEBİÖVEN :
She
graduated from Molecular Biology and Genetics department, METU in
2011. Now, she is continuing her education with MSc studies in
Biology department, METU. In Son Lab, she is studying in a project
aiming to visualize possible physical interactions between Adenosine
A2A, Dopamine D2 and NMDA receptors by use of FRET and Bimolecular
Fluorescence Complementation Assay. |

Cansu BAYRAKTAR:
Completed her BSc degree in Biology Department in METU. Currently
doing her MSc in Biology,
in SON Lab, METU. Her research project focuses on the detection of
the signaling pathway of Adenosine 2A and Dopamine 2 receptor
heteromers through G proteins, using FRET technique. |

Gizem ÖZCAN:
Completed her BSc studies at Bilkent University Molecular Biology
and Genetics department in 2013. Intership studies are done at Human
Genetics department of Radboud University Nijmegen, Holland. Her
internship study was about detection of neurobiologic expression of
FoxP protein in D. melanogaster brains. She is continuing her MSc
studies with SON Lab at Middle East Technical University
Biochemistry department. She is now studying on detection of homo/heterodimerizations of Dopamine, Serotonine and NMDA receptors
with FRET and split-EGFP methods. |

Gökhan
ÜNLÜ: I completed my BSc study in Molecular Biology and
Genetics Department of Middle East Technical University in 2009. I
have continued my education with Master's study in Biology
Department of METU. Since 2009, I am pursuing my MSc thesis study in
Son Lab studying on "In vivo detection of heterodimerization of
Adenosine A2A and Dopamine D2 receptors in live N2a cells with FRET
and Split EGFP methods" |

İlke
ILGAZ: Finished
her bachelor degree in METU in Biology department. She performed her
internships in the Netherlands and Norway. She is currently doing her master of
Biology in SON Lab, METU, on the mechanism of interactions of NMDA 1A,2A,2B and Dopamine D2 receptors. For the times apart from
her master; she likes dealing with languages; besides English, she knows French
and German. |

Fırat
Nebioğlu: Department of
Molecular Biology and Genetics
My project focuses on the localization of interactions between
dopamine D2 receptors with adenosine A2A receptors during
trafficking from ER to membrane. We benefit from FRET and basic
molecular genetics techniques during experiments. |

Nazlı Alantar: BSc Biology, Sociology I'm currently a 4th year undergraduate student majoring
in Biology and Sociology.I'm a member of the Professor
Son's research laboratory as a special project student. The
project I'm involved is studying the display of homodimerization
of Ste2p using split GFP.
