He was very patient with us and he taught us everything we know about the lab we worked in as it was quite an advanced lab. We could do our InterLab studies thanks to his professional dedication for his job and his students.

Handan Kesim helped us with everyhting as she is our primary instructor but since she is also our biology teacher, she helped us with the protocols, with the experiments and with our writings of our findings.
