Scientist.
Veteran. Builder.
I'm Onur Oncer — a U.S. Army combat veteran turned published scientist who builds labs, software, and supplements, and writes the science behind them. I help brands and labs turn rigorous science into products that ship.
You cracked every channel. This site was built the same way — one experiment at a time. Want in on the next one, or just a ping when something new ships? Leave your call sign.

Supplement Formulation
Functional-mushroom and mycology formulation through my brand, Shroombiosis — blending clinical mycology with modern supplement science.
Tutoring & Teaching
Organic chemistry, physics, math, physiology, anatomy, and Turkish. Years as a university teaching assistant across multiple subjects.
A clear process
No mystery, no bloat — a straightforward path from first call to delivered work.
Discovery
A short call to understand the goal, scope, and what success looks like.
Proposal
A clear plan with deliverables, timeline, and a fixed or scoped quote.
Build
Focused execution with regular check-ins — you always know where things stand.
Handoff
Delivered, documented, and supported — built to last after I step away.
The short story
Born in New Jersey, I joined the U.S. Army in 2009 as a 13B Field Artillery Cannon Crewmember, deploying to Afghanistan in 2011 with the 1st Infantry Division, Task Force Duke.
After the Army I went into science — a B.S. in Physiology from the University of Arizona, election to Phi Beta Kappa and Omicron Delta Kappa, and peer-reviewed research in molecular spectroscopy. I completed four years of medical-school coursework at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine, made the Dean's List, then stepped away in my final year after my father's heart attack.
I'm relentlessly multidisciplinary — science, music, and art all drive how I work. Today I consult on labs and AI, build websites and apps, review science content, tutor, and formulate functional-mushroom supplements through Shroombiosis.
