Topic: Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interfaces (RPNIs)
Biography
Ipek Berberoglu is a medical student at Koc University School of Medicine in Istanbul, Turkey. She completed summer research internships at the University of Michigan and Johns Hopkins to develop surgical strategies for pain and prosthetic control for individuals with amputation. After finishing her 5th year in medical school, she allocated 2 gap years for full-time research work in the University of Michigan Neuromuscular Lab. Under the mentorship of Dr. Paul S. Cederna and Dr. Stephen W.P Kemp, she designed translational animal models to improve patient outcomes and led clinical studies in peripheral nerve injury. After completing medical school, she plans to pursue academic plastic and reconstructive surgery training in the US to optimize surgical care for vulnerable patients.
