Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Multiorgan-On for Cancer Drug Pharmacokinetics-Pharmacodynamics (pk-Pd) Modeling and Simulations(Springer/plenum Publishers, 2025) Mohammed, Abdurehman Eshete; Kurucaovali, Filiz; Okvur, Devrim PesenCancer is one of the most common and fatal diseases worldwide and kills millions of people every year. Cancer drug resistance, lack of efficacy, and safety are significant problems in cancer patients. A multiorgan-on-a-chip (MOC) device consisting of breast and liver compartments was designed with AutoCAD software. The MOC molds were printed by a Formlabs Form 2 3D printer. MDA-MB-231, HepG2, and MCF-10 A cells were used for the MOC experiments. The cell lines were cultured at 37 degrees C with 5% CO2, and cell viability was assessed via Alamar blue dye to generate pharmacodynamics (PD) data. Drug concentrations from the cell culture media were analyzed via Agilent 1260 Infinity II HPLC with a Waters Symmetry C18 column and used to generate pharmacokinetics (PK) data. The PK and PD data were modeled and simulated by Monolix and Simulix software, respectively. The safety and efficacy of drug dosing regimens were compared, and the best dosing regimens were selected. This research designed and fabricated a unique MOC consisting of liver and breast compartments that overcomes the need for sealing or assembling. It was used for PK-PD modeling and simulations, and its functionality was proven experimentally. The new MOC will be helpful in preclinical trials to evaluate the efficacy and safety of drugs.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Deep Learning Based Segmentation Pipeline for Label-Free Phase-Contrast Microscopy Images(IEEE, 2020) Ayanzadeh, Aydın; Yalçın Özuysal, Özden; Okvur, Devrim Pesen; Önal, Sevgi; Töreyin, Behçet Uğur; Ünay, DevrimThe segmentation of cells is necessary for biologists in the morphological statistics for quantitative and qualitative analysis in Phase-contrast Microscopy (PCM) images. In this paper, we address the cell segmentation problem in PCM images. Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) commonly is initialized with weights from a network pre-trained on a large annotated data set like ImageNet have superior performance than those trained from scratch on a small dataset. Here, we demonstrate how encoder-decoder type architectures such as U-Net and Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) can be improved by an alternative encoder which pre-trained on the ImageNet dataset. In particular, our experimental results confirm that the image descriptors from ResNet-18 are highly effective in accurate prediction of the cell boundary and have higher Intersection over Union (IoU) in comparison to the classical U-Net and require fewer training epochs.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 6Faz Kontrast Optik Mikroskopi Zaman Serisi Görüntülerinde Hücrelerin Otomatik Bölütlenmesi(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Binici, Rıfkı Can; Şahin, Umut; Ayanzadeh, Aydın; Töreyin, Behçet Uğur; Önal, Sevgi; Okvur, Devrim Pesen; Yalçın Özuysal, Özden; Ünay, DevrimFaz kontrast optik mikroskopi hücrelerin canlı ortamlarında zamana bağlı incelenmesi için tercih edilen görüntüleme yöntemidir. Bu yöntem ile elde edilen zaman serisi görüntülerinde hücrelerin bölütlenmesi işi hücre biyolojisi araştırmacılarının çözümüne ihtiyaç duyduğu emek yoğun ve zaman alan bir iştir. Bu çalışmada faz kontrast optik mikroskopi zaman serilerinde hücrelerin otomatik bölütlenmesi için geleneksel görüntü işleme ve derin öğrenme temelli yöntemler önerilmiş ve başarımları elle işaretlenmiş veri kümelerinde nicel olarak ölçülmüştür.
