Beri started working in the bacteriology lab as a lab assistant during her BSc in Molecular Biology & Genetics at Istanbul Technical University. She visited the University of Amsterdam during her BSc and worked on a project to elucidate the interactions of FtsZ-ZapA-ZapB during E. coli cell division. She worked on analysing global Regulators of LutR and SinR interactions on bac operon in B. subtilis for her thesis study. She continued her MSc in Middle East Technical University Institute of Marine Sciences on evolutionary biology and worked on the phylogeography of Botryllid ascidians from the Levantine. Currently, she is in the last year of her PhD at the University of Otago, studying the mechanisms of whole-body regeneration of Botrylloides diegensis using single-cell transcriptomics and ATAC-seq analyses complemented with in-situ hybridization, cloning, and RT-qPCR techniques.
