Murat ACI

Murat ACI was born in 1990 in Şanlıurfa. Graduated from Iğdır Univ. with a degree in Field Crops in 2013. From 2013 to 2014, Participated worked in Biotechnology Lab. of Konya Selçuk University. Received language training at Akdeniz Univ. (2015)/Türkiye and the Univ. of Delaware (2016)/USA. Completed Master's degree in Differentially Expression Analysis in Soybean Breeding at Texas A&M Univ. (2016-18). Completed training in Genetic Mapping of Autotetraploid plants at the Univ. of North Carolina. Doctoral research was conducted in The Land Institute/Kansas/USA (2022-2023). Moreover, attended courses at the Univ. of Minnesota in the spring of 2023. Currently continuing Ph.D. Program on Bioengineering doing Genetic Map of Autotetraploid Sainfoin at Adana Alparslan Türkeş Science and Tech. Univ., begun in 2021.

I like to construct international collaborations on plant breeding and genetics. Write projects with cooperation of international professional researchers. Visit their work place or invite them to where I work to be able to have an idea about what to share about professional ares. I am determined on increasing my skills with during post-doctorate researches in varying countries.
