Fatma Sultan Kiliç

Prof. Fatma Sultan Kiliç is a Professor at Eskisehir Osmangazi University's Medical Faculty, serving in the Department of Internal Medical Sciences within the Medical Pharmacology Division. She has held her professorship since 2011 and currently serves in multiple leadership roles including Director of the Health Sciences Institute, Member of the Senate, and Head of Department.

Her educational background includes a Doctorate in Education Sciences from Eskisehir Osmangazi University (2015-2021), Medical Expertise from the same institution (1991-1995), and an Undergraduate degree in Medicine from Ankara University (1980-1986). This diverse educational foundation supports her dual expertise in clinical pharmacology and medical education.

Prof. Kiliç's research spans multiple domains of pharmacology with particular emphasis on neuropharmacology and psychopharmacology. Her work investigates the effects of various compounds on neurological and psychiatric conditions using animal models. Key research areas include schizophrenia models, depression and anxiety mechanisms, cognitive function enhancement, pain management, and the pharmacological properties of natural compounds like galangin and Euterpe oleracea. Her methodology typically combines behavioral testing with biochemical analyses to elucidate drug mechanisms and effects.

Her recent publications (2020-2024) demonstrate consistent research productivity with studies examining pregabalin's effects on schizophrenia models, ketamine's neuroprotective properties, galangin's cognitive effects, and the mechanisms of various natural compounds. These works reveal a research trajectory focused on understanding drug mechanisms at behavioral, neurobiological, and molecular levels.

Prof. Kiliç has supervised 12 graduate theses, mentoring students through doctoral and postgraduate research projects investigating diverse pharmacological topics. She is actively involved in the Neuropsychopharmacology Laboratory, which she co-founded in 2014, serving as the primary research facility for her investigations into neurological and psychiatric drug mechanisms.

Her educational leadership extends to developing and delivering training programs for educational directors and contributing to medical curriculum development. She has published on medical education topics including the 'Physician Profession Attitude Scale' and cognitive structures of ideal medical educators, demonstrating her commitment to advancing medical education practices.
