Enes Karaman

Enes Karaman serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University's Faculty of Medicine, where he concurrently holds the position of Head of Department starting in 2025. His research program focuses on critical intersections of reproductive medicine, gynecological surgery, and obstetrics, with particular emphasis on ovarian reserve preservation, infertility mechanisms, and the physiological impacts of environmental stressors and medical interventions on female reproductive health.

His educational trajectory includes a Licence in Medicine from Hacettepe University (2008-2015), Medical Specialization in Obstetrics/Gynaecology from Erciyes University (2022) with thesis on hyperbaric oxygen and metformin effects in ovarian torsion, and ongoing Doctorate studies in Histology-Embryology at Erciyes University (2023-). Complementing this, he holds dual Associate Degrees in Justice (Atatürk University, 2014-2016) and Labor/Veterinary Health (Anadolu University, 2013-2016).

Dr. Karaman's research expertise spans reproductive toxicology, ovarian physiology, and molecular gynecology, demonstrated through extensive investigations into vaccine impacts on fertility, boron's protective effects against chemotherapy toxicity, and biomarker discovery in endometrial carcinoma. His methodological approach integrates rat models with clinical trials and bioinformatics, particularly examining ischemia-reperfusion injury, oxidative stress pathways, and hormonal regulation in conditions like PCOS and endometriosis. Recent work reveals sophisticated analysis of environmental toxin interactions (ethanol, nonylphenol) with reproductive tissues and innovative exploration of nutraceutical interventions (boric acid, pergol) for fertility preservation.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrates three dominant research streams: (1) Experimental therapeutics for ovarian protection using hyperbaric oxygen, metformin, and boric acid; (2) Molecular diagnostics for gynecological cancers through biomarker discovery; and (3) Clinical epidemiology of reproductive health impacts from vaccines, environmental factors, and healthcare system variables. His work consistently bridges basic science with translational applications, featuring rigorous histopathological validation and innovative statistical approaches like CHAID analysis.

Securing multiple Higher Education Institution grants, Dr. Karaman currently leads eight active research projects including boron treatment for endometriosis, metabolic syndrome in PCOS, and HPV's psychological impacts, while completing seven vaccine and torsion-related studies. His editorial contributions to six international health science publications and collaborative projects with institutions like Erciyes University demonstrate significant academic leadership beyond direct research output.
