Prof. Dr. Selçuk Hazır from the department of Biology at the Faculty of Science and Letters became one of the five editors selected for the special issue of ‘Frontiers in Microbiology’, one of the world's most respected microbiology journals, titled ‘New Antimicrobial Peptides From Bacteria/Invertebrate Obligate Symbiotic Associations’.
Other academicians selected by the journal are Dr. Eustachio Tarasco from the University of Bari in Italy, Dr. Adler Dillman from California University, Dr. David Clarke from College Cork University in Ireland, and Dr. Andras Fodor from Pannonia University in Hungary.
