Lezioni di scienze: dalle elementalari alle scuole superiori.
I am laureate in Scienze Biologiche e Biotecnologie, Indirizzo Ambiente e Agro-Industria. For 5 years I continue to be students of different età, in diverse corsi di scienze. Chemistry, mathematics, biology and others are not secret per me. With this enthusiasm I will wait for others to stop in a very simple way. Here we learn in the preparation of those written and oral, and in the study of the various disciplines.

Bioprocessing/Biochemical Engineering/Pharmaceutical Biotechnology (Design, Operation and Scaling of Bioreactors and Unit Operations)
In bioprocessing you cannot have the cake and eat it too. Constantly, you need to make choices about which unit operation is best suited for a particular application and what are the trade offs. Because of so many factors that guide this decision, it can be daunting for starting biotech/bioprocess students to be overwhelmed. I was definitely overwhelmed in my 1st year of uni. But after 5 years studying the subject, I am here to help you to think like an engineer and make informed choices based on the context of the process and product. In my class, I will teach you the theoretical background behind bioreactors and common unit operations (e.g. filtration, centrifugation, chromatography) and how to implement them into a bioprocess. This class is best suited for university students (bachelor or master), people joining/switching industry or just people interested in how pharmaceuticals are made! If you are a university student, we can can discuss your own assignments or projects. My tutoring style is discussion-based. We will have a conversation about the subjects rather than a lecture, which will give you the tools and confidence to better synthesize the course content and present your ideas in a specific manner. I create my own materials for each class, including definitions, calculations, diagrams and past-exam questions. I use a touchscreen tablet to interactively annotate our class worksheets, draw P&IDs, structures and mechanisms, write down chemical reactions and step-by-step calculations. For any questions, please feel free to contact me!

Basic / Advanced Biology using exciting, easy to understand graphical methods
I have a passion for science, especially life science. After having finished my master's degree in Biotechnology and working as a molecular oncology researcher for 3 years, I now wish to share my passion for this field with budding, curious minds. In this class, based on the requirement of the student, I will focus on basic or advanced life science topics such as molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry and bioanalytical techniques. If you are in school and need your basics covered, I can teach basic biology and chemistry in the simplest manner. I can understand these subjects can come off as quite dry to many students, but hopefully, my extreme enthusiasm in this field will change that for you. Hope to see you soon.

Molecular Pathways to Life:The Chemistry and Biology of Living Systems
Life is a complex phenomenon and its emergence has been my major curiosity since childhood. I thought I could understand the concepts of the emergence of life by studying molecular biology. Therefore, I did my bachelor's studies in molecular biology and genetics at Yildiz Technical University. My bachelor's education has provided me with a comprehensive understanding and specific skills related to molecular biology. I am pursuing a Master’s degree in Chemistry & Life Sciences at Chimie Paris - Tech/Université PSL to understand the chemistry behind the transition of non–living matter to living matter and improve my perspective on the chemistry of life. I am confident that I can bring some fresh perspectives to complex problems of these topics with my background and skills and can teach fundamentals of these fields.

Biology for biotechnological applications in various fields
Biotechnology is a broad field that applies biological systems, living organisms, or parts of organisms to develop or create products and services. It's essentially the use of technology to solve problems and make useful products based on biology. Examples of Biotechnology Applications: Genetic engineering: Modifying the genetic makeup of organisms to create new traits or improve existing ones. Bioinformatics: Using computer technology to analyze biological data, such as DNA sequences. Synthetic biology: Designing and constructing biological systems that don't exist in nature. Biopharmaceuticals: Producing therapeutic proteins and other drugs from biological sources Would you like to know more about a specific area of biotechnology, or perhaps we will discuss a particular application in this session.

Learn Fundamentals of Cell Biology, Biotechnology and Genetics
I am a graduate in pharmaceutical sciences (gold-medalist) and I teach the following subjects: Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Cell Biology, Genetics, Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmacology, Analytical Chemistry. Highly interactive and friendly sessions to ensure complete comprehension of concepts and revision of basic fundamentals. A progress monitor is recorded and updated to better the understanding ability and progress of the learner. Being a post-graduate student myself, I am aware of the teaching environment and methodology a student expects. I believe being comfortable in asking questions until a concept is crystal clear, is of utmost importance at any level of learning.
