SKILLS
ABOUT A. MESUT ERZURUMLUOGLU
I am currently a Principal Scientist (Bioinformatics) at Bicycle Therapeutics. Before this, I was a Senior Scientist and Product Owner in the Comp. Biology department of Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma. I mainly contribute(d) to drug target identification,(in)validation and repurposing efforts utilising large-scale human genetics/omics and biobank/health data (see ‘Experience’ section for details).In my academic career, I worked as a Sn. Research Associate (Point 49) at the MRC Epidemiology Unit, University of Cambridge where we mainly studied the aetiology of common metabolic disorders such as type-2 diabetes and obesity; and as a Research Associate at the University of Leicester where we mainly studied the aetiology of common respiratory diseases (e.g. COPD, asthma, IPF) and related traits (e.g. lung function, smoking behaviour, blood pressure). I did a PhD in Genetic Epidemiology at the University of Bristol (with 4-year full scholarship from the MRC) where I mainly analysed whole-exome sequencing data obtained from consanguineous individuals, and tried to identify (novel) causal variants of rare human diseases (e.g. Primary ciliary dyskinesia, Papillon-Lefevre syndrome). I also took part in many Population genetics-related projects.
