Emine Eren Koçak Hacettepe University Date/Time: Thursday, 22 January 2026, 16:30 am Place: Aysel Sabuncu Brain Research Center Seminar Room (SC-106)   Abstract: One of the most fundamental questions in psychiatry is why certain individuals develop mental disorders after exposure to stressors while others don’t. This talk explores the neurobiological basis of stress susceptibility. Dendritic […]

We are proud to announce the GraphTeacher, which is now published in IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence! GraphTeacher tackles a core NLP challenge—scarce labeled data—by integrating GNNs into the fine-tuning of transformer encoders to exploit unlabeled data while excluding test nodes from the graph, eliminating re-graphing and enabling inductive, single-instance inference. 🔬 Evaluated on GLUE […]

Recent research by Prof. Dr. Oktay Algın and his collaborators has led to the development of MRI-compatible brain biopsy and ablation techniques. These innovations have received support from the Turkish Institutes of Health (TÜSEB), MARVIS—a manufacturer of MRI- compatible guidewires—and NORAS, a manufacturer of MRI coils. These studies will evaluate the ability to perform MRI-compatible […]

We are proud to share our interdisciplinary and collaborative work at the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering and UMRAM of Bilkent University and the School of Medicine of Koç University on single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) with graph- and transformer-based neural networks! Our article is now published in the Special Issue on Learning on Graphs […]

Oktay Algin and his colleagues conducted two studies published in two international scientific journals. The names of these studies are ‘Evaluation of the Glymphatic System in Rabbits Using Gadobutrol-Enhanced MR Cisternography With T1 and T2 Mapping’ and ‘Thalamo-insular cortex connections in the rat and human’.
