We bid farewell to dear Zeynep, who has been an invaluable member of the Saatcioglu Lab. Zeynep was originally a PhD student in our lab a few years ago working on the kinetics of steroid receptor–chromatin interactions. Upon finishing her PhD, she pursued postdoctoral work in Oslo and Germany and returned to Oslo. She then decided to get an education in informatics and obtained a degree this past summer from Oslo Metropolitan University. Congratulations Zeynep! During her time as an IT student, she again joined our laboratory as a part-time research assistant. During her time with us, Zeynep effortlessly balanced her responsibilities (as always, delivering more than the requirement) while pursuing her studies in software engineering. She has also been the gardener supreme of our plants in the lab! Her dedication to both the field of science and technology exemplifies her passion for learning and innovation. We will greatly miss her positive, vibrant presence in the lab.

 

Dear Zeynep, as you embark on this new journey, remember that the Saatcioglu Lab family will always be there cheering you on. Thank you for your dedication, hard work, smile, delicious cakes, and the memories we've shared. We wish you all success and fulfillment in all your future endeavors!
