معرفی
Caner Yildirim serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Basic Medical Sciences at Gaziantep University Faculty of Medicine. His academic career spans veterinary medicine, physiology, and neuroscience with a focus on neurophysiological mechanisms and toxicology. Previously, he held lecturer positions at both Gaziantep University (2019-2023) and Kafkas University (2017-2019).
- Doctorate in Physiology (2013-2017) - Gaziantep University Institute of Health Sciences
- Licence in Veterinary Medicine (2007-2012) - Atatürk University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine
Dr. Yildirim's research centers on neurophysiology, particularly investigating cisplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy, ion channel function in auditory processing, and neurodegenerative disease mechanisms. His laboratory employs electrophysiological techniques including patch-clamp methodology to study neuronal excitability in cochlear nucleus neurons and other neural systems. His work bridges basic physiological mechanisms with clinical applications in neurotoxicity and neurodegenerative disorders.
Analysis of his publication record reveals a strong focus on neurotoxicology (particularly cisplatin effects), ion channel physiology in auditory pathways, and biomarker research in neurodegenerative conditions. His most recent work demonstrates significant contributions to understanding protective mechanisms against chemotherapy-induced neuropathy and cardiotoxicity through natural compounds like sinapic acid.

Dr. Yildirim has successfully supervised doctoral and master's students in neurophysiology research, particularly focusing on cisplatin-induced neuropathy models. His research program is supported by multiple national grants from both university funding bodies and TÜBİTAK, with nine completed projects and one ongoing investigation into fisetin's protective effects against cisplatin toxicity. His administrative roles include serving as Domestic Period Coordinator at Gaziantep University since 2021.
His laboratory maintains active research programs in electrophysiology, neurotoxicology, and neurodegenerative disease modeling, with particular expertise in patch-clamp techniques and animal models of peripheral neuropathy.
