معرفی
Durmuş Deveci is a Professor in the Department of Physiology at the Faculty of Medicine, Nigde Omer Halisdemir University (2019-present), previously holding the same position at Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University (2010-2019). His administrative leadership includes roles as Head of Department at Nigde (2020-present), Rector of Kahramanmaras University (2014-2018), and Dean of its Faculty of Medicine (2011-2014).
His academic credentials feature a Doctorate from the University of Birmingham (1994-1999) on 'Muscle and Cardiovascular Responses to Cold Acclimation in Rodents', a Master's degree from Republic University in Basic Medical Sciences/Physiology (1990-1992) examining fasting effects on skin potentials, and a Biology Bachelor's from Çukurova University (1984-1988).
Deveci's research program investigates physiological adaptations to environmental stressors, with core expertise in:
- Cold acclimation mechanisms in cardiovascular and muscular systems
- Angiogenesis regulation under hypoxia and temperature stress
- Thermoregulatory physiology in hibernating/non-hibernating rodents
- Exercise-induced myokine responses and vascular adaptations
- Metabolic adaptations to fasting and environmental challenges
His publication record demonstrates sustained experimental physiology contributions through 15 peer-reviewed articles (1998-2013), revealing consistent methodological rigor in rodent models and vascular/muscular analyses. Key trends include progressive exploration of cold stress impacts on cardiac performance, capillary dynamics, and metabolic regulation across species.

He has mentored seven graduate students through thesis completion on topics ranging from hypertension interventions to intestinal responses to natural compounds. His research leadership includes the Higher Education Institutions-supported project T 420 (2008-2011) on physiological mechanisms.
International collaborations, particularly with Stuart Egginton at the University of Birmingham, underpin his experimental work though specific laboratory infrastructure details remain unreported.
