Neslihan Sönmez

I am a marine biologist with a passion for exploring and preserving our ocean's biodiversity. My journey led me to work at CIIMAR, where I contributed to the Atlantida Project and focused on environmental DNA analysis and molecular studies of marine ecosystems. I have also delved into microalgae-based biotechnology, participating in innovative R&D initiatives that explore sustainable solutions in food, cosmetics, and fertilizers. I enjoy bridging fundamental research with practical applications, always eager to discover new ways to understand and protect our marine life.
