معرفی
Professor Özlem Keskin is a distinguished academic in the Department of Internal Medical Sciences at Gaziantep University Faculty of Medicine, specializing in Pediatric Immunology and Allergic Diseases. With over two decades of experience since obtaining her medical specialization from Hacettepe University in 2001, she has established herself as a leading researcher in child immunology and respiratory diseases.
- Professor at Gaziantep University Faculty of Medicine since 2006
- Specialized in Pediatric Immunology and Allergic Diseases (Child Health and Diseases)
- Extensive research in cystic fibrosis, immunodeficiency disorders, and childhood asthma
- Active contributor to national guidelines for allergy and immunology treatments
Professor Keskin's research interests span pediatric immunology, allergic diseases, cystic fibrosis, and genetic immunology. Her work focuses on understanding the genetic basis of immunodeficiency disorders, developing better diagnostic methods, and improving treatment approaches for children with respiratory and immune disorders. She has made significant contributions to national treatment guidelines for childhood asthma, hereditary angioedema, and immunoglobulin therapy.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong focus on cystic fibrosis research, particularly examining pulmonary function decline, CFTR modulator therapies, and the impact of war on refugee children with CF. She has also conducted important research on genetic evaluation of immunodeficiency patients using whole exome sequencing, and has published extensively on MHC Class II Deficiency and other primary immunodeficiencies.
- Co-author of the 'Clinics Treatment Principles and Prevention in Childhood Asthma' (2024)
- Contributor to 'Multidisciplinary approaches to immunoglobulin therapy guideline 2023'
- Author of 'Current Diagnosis and Treatment of Allergy and Immunology Diseases' chapter on 'Allergy and Genetic Tests' (2022)
- Contributor to 'Hereditary angioedema diagnosis and treatment national guideline 2022'
- Co-author of 'Allerjen İmmünoterapisi ULUSAL REHBER 2016'
Professor Keskin has supervised numerous research projects and has been actively involved in the Cystic Fibrosis Registry of Turkey, contributing to improved patient care through registry data analysis. Her work bridges clinical practice with cutting-edge genetic research, particularly in understanding the molecular basis of immunodeficiency disorders. She collaborates extensively with researchers across Turkey and internationally, as evidenced by her numerous co-authored publications in high-impact journals.
