leman nur nehri

I am a computational biologist specializing in systems-level investigation of cancer biology, with a background in probabilistic modeling, multi-omics data analysis, and bioinformatics.

I completed my PhD in Biological Sciences at Middle East Technical University (METU), where I investigated how metabolic stress reshapes cancer cell signaling and metastatic behavior using computational modeling and multi-omics data. I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Data Science in Life Sciences Group at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW School of Life Sciences), and I currently work on alternative splicing–driven tumor progression and data-driven discovery. I also have industry experience in drug target identification, where I worked as a computational consultant supporting therapeutic discovery projects.

My experience includes:
• Mathematical and probabilistic modeling of cellular processes,
• High-throughput data analysis (RNA-seq, proteomics, ATAC-seq, etc.),
• Designing and executing computational workflows for systems biology,
• Scientific writing, research communication, and project development.

While my primary research focus is cancer systems biology, I also maintain strong interests in urban ecology, climate-related biological systems, and the philosophy of science. I enjoy interdisciplinary projects that combine natural sciences, computational thinking, and societal relevance.

I am open to research collaborations, consulting opportunities, and projects involving computational biology, data-driven discovery, and applied modeling. You can find more about my work via the LinkedIn and GitHub links below.
