Internationally recognised specialist visits Bond
17 January 2008
Professor Oguz K. Baskurt, MD, PhD is currently visiting the Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine for two weeks as part of a collaboration with Professor Greg Gass and Assistant Professor Sonya Marshall. Professor Oguz Baskurt is an internationally recognised specialist in the fields on Hemorheology and Hemodynamics. He has published more than 110 papers in scientific journals and four book chapters.
Professor Baskurt’s current research interests include the relationship between the rheological properties of blood and vascular control mechanisms. In particular, the influence of red blood cell properties on nitric oxide related vascular mechanisms and hemodynamic consequences of erythrocyte alterations that impact upon disease states.
During his time at Bond University, Professor Baskurt will present a public research seminar on “Increased red blood cell aggregation and its role in cardiovascular disease”. It is this research area that Dr Sonya Marshall and Professor Gregg Gass, have been conducting with Professor Baskurt and sets Bond apart from other research institutions in Australia as it is not being conducted elsewhere nationally. The National Health and Medical Research Centre (NHMRC) for the Australian Government has listed Ageing well and ageing productively as a priority research area and this research that is being conducted at the Faculty of Health Sciences and Medicine, Bond University addresses this priority. Through the ongoing collaboration with Professor Baskurt, Bond University is endeavouring to undertake additional research projects investigating possible circulatory problems associated with ageing and cardiovascular disease.
Professor Baskurt is the former Vice Rector (Vice-Chancellor) of Akdeniz University, Antalya, Turkey and is currently serving as the chief Advisor to the Rector (Chancellor ) Akdeniz University. Professor Baskurt is also the former director of the University’s Research Projects Unit where he was responsible to a 25 million USD budget.
