Ten projects developed by academics and graduate students from different faculties and units of Ondokuz Mayıs University (OMU) have been selected for support under various programmes of the Health Institutes of Türkiye (TÜSEB).

Covering a broad range of fields, from health sciences and engineering to artificial intelligence applications and biomaterial development, the projects aim to produce innovative solutions for human health and contribute to scientific knowledge.

The supported studies address current and priority research areas, including neurological disorders, infertility, cancer treatment, antimicrobial resistance, sleep apnoea, spinal deformities, drug delivery, and tissue engineering.
