Chair-Moderator

I graduated with honors from Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty, Istanbul, in 2017, ranking seventh in my entire school. I completed my otolaryngology residency at Okmeydanı Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, in 2025, and I am currently fulfilling my compulsory service at Çerkezköy State Hospital, Tekirdağ. Although my primary interests lie in rhinology and skull base surgery, I gained substantial experience in head and neck oncologic surgery during my residency.

Driven by a deep curiosity for innovation, I have actively pursued advanced training in regenerative medicine, completing the Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Certificate Course and the Stem Cell Application Program at Marmara University. My research focuses on the application of stem cells and exosomes in sensorineural hearing loss. Supported by TÜSEB ARGE B-Group project funding, I collaborate with Marmara University’s Marsstem Academy to advance translational studies in this promising field.

Throughout my academic journey, I have held leadership roles in scientific research clubs and served as an academic coordinator, fostering scientific inquiry among my peers. I have presented my work at numerous national and international conferences, contributing to over 20 SCI-indexed publications. My proficiency in SPSS enables me to independently design and analyze research projects, highlighting my comprehensive skills in both clinical practice and scientific investigation.

I am also an active member of the Young Confederation of European ORL-HNS (Reference ID: 688), where I engage with a network of forward-thinking ENT professionals committed to advancing research, collaboration, and innovation across Europe.

My visionary approach integrates cutting-edge regenerative technologies with otolaryngology, aiming to redefine therapeutic paradigms and improve patient outcomes. My commitment to innovation, translational research, and education positions me as a promising leader among the next generation of ENT specialists.
