Born in 1965 in İskenderun, Prof. Dr. Although Uğur Şahin made a name for himself with his studies on cancer, he drew all the attention with the good news of the BNT162b2 vaccine against the coronavirus.
He employs about 80 scientists at BionTech, of which he is one of the founding partners. Dr. Uğur Şahin became one of the 100 richest people in Germany, whom he turned to when he was four years old, with his fortune of 3.9 billion dollars.
The falcon’s company, BionTech, announced that they achieved a 90 percent success rate in the coronavirus vaccine they developed with the US company Pfizer. Prof. Dr. Şahin’s scientific success resonated in his hometown, Iskenderun, in Hatay. The compatriots of Şahin are also proud of this achievement.
‘I NEAR TO KNOW THE FAMILY’
Former İskenderun Journalists Association President Sami Uygur (76), his former neighbor Prof. Dr. Said they were proud to know that Uğur Şahin is a name that excites the world.

Prof. Dr. Describing Şahin’s ties and memories with his family, Uygur said:
* Uğur Şahin went to Niğde and then to Germany at a very young age. His parents were our next door neighbors. Uğur’s mother is Kadriye, her father is İhsan Şahin. Uğur’s grandfather İbrahim, grandmother Kibare. Uğur had three aunts. He also had two uncles.
* From what I remember, Aunt Melek lives in Istanbul, but I haven’t received any information about her for a long time. He has a younger brother, Ufuk, I know he lives in Mersin. His mother bought a house in Mersin for a time. Later he went to Germany and I learned that he died there. His mother used to come and go to Iskenderun on tour until the last few years. Every time he came, he would tell about Uğur’s great work and his studies on drugs.
‘UĞUR HAS AN INDEPENDENT PLACE IN OUR HOUSE’
Prof. Dr. Noting that Uğur Şahin has been working on the coronavirus as well as the cancer field, Uygur said: “Uğur has a special place in our house” and said:
* Our house was facing each other. When Uğur was about to get under a car while crossing the street at a young age, my deceased mother grabbed her arm and pushed him away. When her mother brought Ugur to my mother, she often said, “The aunt who saved your life.” Years have passed. We saw that Uğur became a world doctor, researcher and scientist. We are also happy about this.

At that time, Prof. Dr. The head of the Kurtuluş neighborhood, Hasan Şanlı, where Uğur Şahin lived, said:
* Uğur Şahin was born here and lived in this house until he was four years old. After they left, a few more families lived, but are now inactive. He went to Germany with his family. It is a great pride for us that he studied there, became a scientist, and found the coronavirus vaccine. I want to tell you that we are grateful here.
