Ilke's two main areas of research interests are the socio-legal and ethical issues associated with biomedicine, and the regulation of emerging medical technologies. Owing to her background, she brings a distinctive interdisciplinary approach to her research which enables her to apply insights and perspectives from science and technology studies, bioethics, and law.

Her current research is in the socio-legal construction of intergenerational and transgenerational justice. There are two lines of her research:

• Epigenetics: the ways in which developments in epigenetics research influence how maternal responsibility and rights are perceived. In line with that, her recent research focuses on the ways in which the claims associated with epigenetics may give rise to legal claims. She was awarded British Academy/Leverhulme Trust Small Grant SRG18R1\180531 to explore this: ‘Sins of the mother: Socio-legal imaginaries of epigenetics’. (01/05/2019-30/08/2020)
• Human genome editing: the regulatory and ethical aspects of human germline editing. In this context, she particularly focused on the meaning and limits of reproductive autonomy, and how our reproductive decisions may affect the future generations.

She is also the Co-Director of Law, Innovation, and Society Research Group.
