معرفی
Dr. Orkun Gürbüz serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Medical Services and Techniques at Istinye University's Vocational School of Health Care Services. A graduate of Istanbul University Oncology Institute (Department of Basic Oncology) for both master's and doctorate degrees following undergraduate completion in 2007, he maintains active research in medical biology with translational oncology focus.
His academic trajectory includes:
- Undergraduate completion: 2007
- Graduate studies: Department of Basic Oncology, Istanbul University Oncology Institute
- Current position: Assistant Professor, Medical Services and Techniques Department
Research centers on molecular oncology mechanisms with dual emphases: cancer epigenetics (RB1 methylation in retinoblastoma, FOXO3a dysregulation in leukemias) and emerging neurodevelopmental toxicology (mRNA vaccine impacts). His work integrates human tissue analysis, animal models, and molecular techniques to investigate tumorigenesis pathways and environmental exposures.
Recent publications (2021-2024) reveal increasing diversification from pure oncology into neurodevelopmental fields while maintaining strong epigenetic focus. The 2024 autism-vaccine study represents significant methodological expansion beyond traditional cancer research, indicating growing interdisciplinary approach.
Scientific recognition includes:
- No major awards specified in available materials
- Consistent publication output in specialized oncology journals
Advising and research activities show active mentorship potential through recent publications, though specific student counts aren't documented. His dual expertise in cancer genetics and neurotoxicology creates unique training opportunities in molecular medicine. Lab infrastructure likely includes epigenetic analysis tools and animal facilities supporting his published methodologies.
