Buket Onel's research focuses on unusual DNA structures called G-quadruplexes, which form in gene promoter regions (such as MYC, BCL2, and PDGFR-β) and can help control whether genes are turned on or off. This work explores how small molecules and proteins interact with these structures, with potential relevance to cancer biology, and more recent work has also included studies on peripheral nerve tissue repair using animal transplant models. Prospective students would be working at the intersection of molecular biology, structural chemistry, and biomedical applications.

Publication output peaked around 2018-2019 and has since slowed considerably, with sparse and irregular output (often zero or one paper per year) from 2020 through 2025.
