Dr. Erhan Keleş earned his Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering from Istanbul Technical University and Montana State University (ITU-UOLP) in 2014, followed by a Master’s degree in Bioengineering from Washington State University in 2016. He completed his PhD in Genetics with a focus on Chemical Genetics at the University of Basel, Switzerland, in 2021.

Dr. Erhan Keleş has held research positions at several institutions. He served as a graduate research assistant at Washington State University and later at the University of Basel during his PhD studies, where he developed strategies for targeted cancer therapies. After earning his PhD, he joined the Stanford Cancer Institute as a postdoctoral researcher, focusing on novel therapeutics for MYC-driven cancers. And then, Dr. Keleş worked as a scientist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), where he studied chromatin states in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and continues to explore innovative cancer treatments. Currently, he is an assistant professor at Boğaziçi University.
