Visionary

The Sabri Ülker Center for Nutrient, Genetic, and Metabolic Research is dedicated to promoting scientific advancement in understanding the underlying mechanisms of chronic metabolic diseases, as well as identifying preventive measures and novel therapeutic avenues to combat these greatest threats to global health.

This second year of the center has seen remarkable progress in several fronts, as our scientists have been able to follow their passion for discovery, develop new platforms for investigation, and make use of cutting-edge technologies to tackle challenging questions. Most importantly, this year was marked by the inaugural Sabri Ülker Symposium on Metabolism and Life, which was hosted in İstanbul by the Sabri Ülker Foundation and featured leading researchers from around the globe. Bringing the highest level of science to an audience of emerging local and regional scientists and students was a tangible extension of the mission of the Ülker Center to promote scientific education and intellectual development throughout the world.
