Reyyan Çifci, a student residing at TÜRGEV Kartal Hayriye Cemal Gülbaran Secondary Education Girls’ Dormitory and studying at Kartal Anatolian Imam Hatip High School, achieved remarkable success at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF)—one of the world’s most prestigious science competitions held in Los Angeles, USA. Competing against thousands of students from over 80 countries, Reyyan proudly represented Türkiye, earning fourth place worldwide in the field of genetics with her innovative project.
TÜRGEV Youth Make Their Mark on the International Stage
Her project, recognized by the jury for its scientific depth, solution-oriented vision, and innovative approach, stands as both a personal triumph and a testament to the global competitiveness of young scientists from Türkiye. Reyyan’s work offers a groundbreaking solution for chronic wounds, especially for patients at high risk of infection. With this innovation, doctors and nurses can monitor the healing process via sensors without reopening the wound. This achievement clearly demonstrates that young people nurtured under the TÜRGEV umbrella can play an active role not only nationally but also on the international scientific stage.
Investing in Youth, Inspiring the Future
At TÜRGEV, we believe every investment in youth is an investment in hope for the future. By equipping them with knowledge, wisdom, and values, we aim to ensure they contribute not only to their personal growth but also to the development of society as a whole. Reyyan’s outstanding success is more than just an award for us it is a concrete reflection of the trust we place in youth, our strategic educational vision, and our values-based approach.
We wholeheartedly congratulate Reyyan on this valuable achievement, and reaffirm our commitment to supporting all young people on their journey toward a future built on science, ethics, and self-confidence.
