Rasime Kalkan is a Professor of Medical Genetics at the European University of Lefke. Professor Rasime Kalkan completed her PhD in the Department of Medical Genetics at the Eskisehir Osmangazi University in Turkey. She served as a member of the Department of Medical Genetics at Near East University from November 2011 to June 2022. She served as Chair of the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in the Arts and Sciences Faculty at Near East University (2020–2022). She has been a member of the Turkish Medical Genetics Association since 2006. She worked on genetic and epigenetic alterations in brain tumours, especially in glioblastoma, during her PhD. She has edited books and journals, published numerous articles in peer-reviewed journals, and authored several chapters for various national and international books. She served as a project coordinator on many research projects. Her research is focused on the identification of epigenetic and genetic alterations in cancer, obesity, hypertension and post-menopausal term.
