To this end, natural molecules are planned to be integrated into the yarn structure via microencapsulation. The 24-month project is being implemented under the T\u00dcB\u0130TAK TEYDEB 1505 \u2013 University\u2013Industry Cooperation Support Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-our-goal-is-to-develop-functional-products-suitable-for-daily-use\">\u201cOur goal is to develop functional products suitable for daily use\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Representing \u00dcsk\u00fcdar University as a researcher within the project, Dr. Nigar Kantarc\u0131 \u00c7ar\u015f\u0131ba\u015f\u0131, faculty member of the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics and Director of the In Silico Research Laboratory, underlines that the core approach of the study is based on chemical-free, safety-proven natural molecules.

Advanced simulation studies to be conducted at the In Silico Research Laboratory, which has recently become operational within \u00dcsk\u00fcdar University, will enable the rapid screening of a broad pool of natural molecules to identify the most suitable candidates. The selected molecules will be integrated into the yarn through microencapsulation, and yarn skeins will be produced in the initial phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clinical studies will be carried out at Bursa Y\u00fcksek \u0130htisas Training and Research Hospital on individuals experiencing sleep disorders as well as control groups.
