Speaker Speaker

I was born in 1991 in Istanbul and completed my medical education at Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine, English Program, graduating in 2015. After my internship, I began my residency in otorhinolaryngology at the same faculty, which I completed in 2021. My specialization thesis focused on the tumor immune microenvironment and the expression of regulatory T-cell markers (TIM-3 and LAG-3) in laryngeal cancer.

I served as an ENT specialist in Amasya and Tekirdağ, as well as at Marmara University Pendik Training and Research Hospital. I currently work as an Assistant Professor at Istanbul University - Cerrahpaşa, Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine, Department of Otorhinolaryngology. I hold both the Turkish Board of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery certification (2021) and the European Board of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery certification (2022).

I have contributed to the scientific literature with publications in respected SCI/SCIE-indexed journals. These include original research articles on cochlear implantation, carotid paraganglioma, PFAPA syndrome, olfactory function in COVID-19 patients, and head and neck cancer management during the COVID-19 era, as well as studies derived from my specialty thesis. Beyond publications, I actively serve as a peer reviewer for several international journals. I have presented my work at national and international congresses and contributed as a chapter author to various Turkish otorhinolaryngology textbooks, covering topics from intraoperative cranial nerve monitoring to thyroid and parathyroid diseases.

Through diverse clinical, academic, and research activities, I am committed to advancing the field of otorhinolaryngology, with particular interests in oncologic head and neck surgery, surgical education, and innovation.
