Seyit Kale received his Bachelor of Science in Physics from İhsan Doğramacı Bilkent University in 2006, and his Ph.D. in Biophysics and Structural Biology from Brandeis University in 2012. He continued his postdoctoral studies at the University of Chicago, developing methods for computational chemistry. Later in 2015, he became a visiting fellow at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, where he developed and pursued an interest in the physics of chromatin and epigenetics. He joined Izmir Biomedicine and Genome Center in late 2019 as a research group leader where he is currently running a lab in computational biophysics.
