Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pınar Arslan Yuce | Toxicology | Best Researcher Award

Associate Professor | Cankiri Karatekin University | Turkey

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pınar Arslan Yuce is an Department of Biology at Çankırı Karatekin University, specializing in ecotoxicology, molecular biology, and aquatic environmental research. Her work focuses on understanding the biochemical, molecular, and physiological impacts of environmental pollutants, pesticides, and biopesticides on aquatic organisms, particularly freshwater mussels, fish, and invertebrate models. She has conducted extensive studies on endocrine disruptors, heavy metals, nanoparticles, and plant-derived compounds, examining their effects through cellular, molecular, and biochemical approaches. Dr. Arslan’s research integrates advanced methodologies including primary cell culture, molecular diagnostics, gene expression analysis, and apoptotic pathway evaluation to elucidate toxicological mechanisms in non-target aquatic species. Her contributions extend to the antimicrobial and anticancer potential of bioactive compounds, as well as investigations into microplastic and microfiber impacts on aquatic life. She has an active publication record with 7 Scopus-indexed documents, 6 citations, an h-index of 2, and a Google Scholar record showing 11 documents, 303 citations, an h-index of 10, and an i10-index of 10. Dr. Arslan has also been involved in mentoring numerous graduate students, contributing to national and international scientific projects, and participating in collaborative studies that advance ecotoxicological and environmental safety research. Her research not only addresses fundamental scientific questions but also informs risk assessment and sustainable environmental management strategies, positioning her as a leading figure in contemporary aquatic toxicology and molecular ecotoxicology.
