Sila Konur Ultanir Biography
Sila obtained a B.S. in Molecular Biology and Genetics from Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey in 1999. She then studied neuronal development and synaptogenesis using live-imaging methods in Dr. Rafael Yuste’s laboratory at Columbia University, NY, where she obtained her Ph.D. in 2004.
Sila then moved to University of California, San Diego, for her first post-doctoral training in Dr. Anirvan Ghosh’s laboratory. There she investigated the role of NMDA receptors on dendrite and spine development using knockout mice and electrophysiology. Sila then joined Dr. Yuh-Nung Jan’s laboratory at University of California, San Francisco in 2006 and studied kinase signaling mechanisms on dendrite development using chemical genetic methods in collaboration with Dr. Kevan Shokat’s laboratory.
