Education:

• 1975: Veterinary Medicine, Fırat University
• 1980: PhD in Veterinary Basic Sciences, Fırat University

Research Interests: Prof. GİRGİN specializes in histological and embryological studies of animals, with a focus on tissue development, endocrine systems, and comparative anatomy. His work explores organogenesis in mammals, avian species, and exotic animals like porcupines and mole rats, using both light and electron microscopy techniques.

Publications Trends: His recent work concentrates on irisin protein localization in exotic species (e.g., mole rats and porcupines), pancreatic endocrine cells in porcupines, and adrenal gland structure. Earlier studies include prenatal/postnatal development of organs like kidneys, lungs, and taste buds in mammals.

Advising & Grants: Supervised 6 theses at Fırat University. No grants explicitly mentioned in text.
