Faik G. Uzunoglu

Faik G. Uzunoglu is a Senior Physician and Medical Specialist in Visceral Surgery at the Universitätsklinikum Eppendorf (UKE) in Hamburg, Germany. He is affiliated with the Department of General, Visceral and Thoracic Surgery under the Center for Surgical Sciences. His clinical focus includes pancreatic surgery, oncologic procedures, and minimally invasive techniques. Dr. Uzunoglu has extensive experience in surgical oncology, particularly in pancreatic and gastrointestinal cancers, and contributes to translational research involving liquid biopsy analysis, genetic risk factors, and surgical outcomes.

Research Interests: His work spans pancreatic cancer biology, biomarker discovery (e.g., circulating tumor cells and cell-free DNA), surgical techniques (robotic and minimally invasive approaches), and clinical outcomes optimization. He also investigates genetic polymorphisms associated with cancer risk and response to treatment.

Articles Trends: His publications emphasize translational oncology, with a focus on liquid biopsy applications, genetic predictors of cancer risk, and improving postoperative care protocols (e.g., ERAS compliance). Recent studies address global surgical outcomes and perioperative management paradigms.

Labs/Teams: Collaborates with multidisciplinary teams in pancreatic surgery, oncology, and molecular pathology at UKE, contributing to initiatives like the PANcreatic Disease ReseArch (PANDoRA) consortium.
