Research summary

Berkay Selçuk's research focuses on understanding how cell-surface receptors called G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), including beta-adrenergic, frizzled, and calcium-sensing receptors, are structurally activated and regulated, often using evolutionary comparisons across species to identify important amino acids and disease-causing mutations. Additional work covers DNA repair mechanisms in fruit flies, gene expression changes linked to depression, and viral genome analysis during the COVID-19 pandemic. This combines structural biology, computational evolutionary analysis, and molecular genetics.

Publication output has grown from none in the late 2010s to a small but steady stream since 2020, with a notable spike in 2026 following a gap in 2025.
