Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFurkan Kurtoglu is a multiscale systems biologist and entrepreneur with nine years of experience blending bioinformatics, machine learning, and agent-based modeling to tackle complex problems like tumor-stromal metabolic crosstalk in colorectal cancer. As a co-founder of simulation- and AI-focused startups, he applies research-grade modeling techniques (SBML, LibRoadRunner, genetic algorithms) to build practical digital twins and conversational AI products for real-world businesses. At Indiana University he integrated data-driven metabolic models into PhysiCell using deep neural networks, co-led a PhysiCell training app, and organized multiple workshops and hackathons while mentoring over ten undergraduates. His background spans wet-lab familiarity and computational modeling, from parameter estimation of ODE systems to Jacobian-based inference of metabolic interactions—an uncommon bridge between bench methods and deployable AI simulations.
