About Defne Yilmaz
I’m a genetic epidemiologist with a strong focus on translating complex clinical, genomic, and real-world data into clear, clinically relevant insights. My work centers on supporting evidence generation and scientific communication that helps clinicians, researchers, and cross-functional teams make informed decisions.I have extensive experience working with clinical and multi-omics datasets, study design, and real-world evidence, and I enjoy engaging in thoughtful, science-driven discussions across medical, clinical, and technical teams. Outside of work, you’ll find me road biking, hiking, backpacking, cooking, or collecting records.
