Welcome!
I am Taner Karagöl, a physician, researcher, and entrepreneur dedicated to decoding the architecture of life to solve critical challenges in human disease. My work spans structural biology, protein engineering, and genomics, alongside clinical research, connecting molecular mechanisms to patient outcomes.
My research includes projects with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and University College London (UCL). Driven to translate discovery into clinical application, I also build and direct early-stage biotechnology startups.
I will be joining MIT as a Postdoctoral Fellow. I am an MD candidate, with clinical and research placements at Harvard Medical School, King's College London, and New York University (NYU).
