Characterization of Medical Materials

My name is Omer Faruk Güder. I have a bachelor's degree from Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University, Department of Biomedical Engineering. I am currently pursuing my master's degree in biomaterials and completing my thesis studies. During my undergraduate education, I participated in domestic and international internships and also had the opportunity to study in Poland for a semester within the scope of our university's Erasmus program. Within the scope of the BIGG4tech program of the teknopark of our university, our project focuses on the development of new types of polymer and chemical dosimeters that will be used for sterilization of medical materials with gamma radiation. The aim of our project is to measure whether the planned radiation dose is provided to the patient or medical devices in the right dose, as a new way to assure the quality of the implementation. A preliminary prototype has been prepared that can be mass-produced, in the form of a project output. Thanks to the important contribution and guidance of our professors, the studies we carried out in the biomaterials laboratory allowed us to participate in the TUBITAK (Scientific and Technological Research Institution of Turkey) competitions. In addition, the TUBITAK project preparation trainings organized by technopark contributed to the development of projects. We aim to develop it into a commercial product and to make financial gains by developing dosimeters. Our main goal is to contribute to the economy of our country by becoming a company and sell these products in the international market. As a member of Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University, where I have been a student for about 6 years, I’d like to say that this is the right place if you want to receive quality education in one of the most beautiful cities of our country, with science as our guide, where all kinds of opportunities for students are provided. We'd love to have you here with us.
