PhD in Medical Sciences, Biomedicine, and Neuroscience, Lund University
Asst. Prof. M. Oktar Guloglu is the Managing Consultant of CellXperience and a stem cell scientist with over 12 years of experience in stem cell biology, neuronal differentiation, molecular diagnostics, and translational research. He completed his PhD in Medical Sciences, Biomedicine, and Neuroscience at Lund University, Sweden, where his doctoral research focused on differentiating human embryonic stem cells into dopaminergic neurons.
His work spans embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, neurobiology, molecular assay development, and laboratory infrastructure setup. Across academic and translational research environments in Sweden, Germany, and Turkey, he has contributed to EU-funded stem cell and molecular biology projects, developed neuronal differentiation protocols, and supported the conversion of research workflows into diagnostic and therapeutic development contexts.
He has held academic and R&D leadership roles, including Assistant Professor, Senior Scientist, and R&D Manager. His applied work includes establishing molecular biology laboratory workflows, supporting GMP/GLP-aware laboratory practices, and developing PCR-based molecular diagnostic assays related to SMA carrier screening, Alzheimer's disease risk analysis, and Parkinson's disease risk analysis. At CellXperience, he leads scientific consulting across stem cell laboratory planning, assay development, translational strategy, and evidence-focused advisory work.
