Judith Yanowitz
Dr. Yanowitz received her B.S. in biology with a minor in literature from MIT in 1991, worked for two years in Titia de Lange’s laboratory at Rockefeller University studying telomere biology. She received her Ph.D. from Princeton University where she worked on Drosophila melanogaster sex determination and dosage compensation in Paul Schedl’s lab. In 1999, she joined Andy Fire’s lab at the Carnegie Institution where she identified genes requiring for mesodermal tissue patterning in the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans. Dr. Yanowitz started her own lab at Carnegie Institution in 2004 to study the effect of chromatin on meiotic crossover formation. She joined MWRI and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in November 2009 and is now a full Professor.
Sercan Yapıcı
Sercan Yapıcı completed his PhD in 2017 with a thesis entitled "Determination of bio-ecological aspects and food interactions of Randall's threadfin bream (Nemipterus randalli) and common pandora (Pagellus erythrinus) in the Gokova Bay”.
He is a researcher at Mugla Sıtkı Koçman University, Faculty of Fisheries since 2010. His main interest topics are non-native species in the Mediterranean Sea; risk analysis on marine bioinvasion.
