Haldun Akoglu MD

Haldun Akoglu is a Professor of Emergency Medicine at Marmara University School of Medicine, in Istanbul, Turkey. He worked daily shifts caring for my patients for more than 20 years with increasing enthusiasm for research. Now, he devotes most of his time to overseeing his residents, teaching clinical research, methodology, and statistics to young emergency physicians, and conducting high-quality research. He is an active researcher with more than 100 publications, 3K citations, and an h-index of 17. Recently, He was honored to be included in Stanford’s Most Influential Scientists of the World list for 2020 and 2021 as the only Emergency Medicine researcher from Turkey.

In 2008, he met the Pharmaceutical sector as an Oncology Medical Manager and he loved it. Although my enthusiasm for research brought me back to academia a few years later, the support and services he provided to the industry from the outside never diminished. Over the years, as his experience in the industry, medicine, and academia increased, He realized how rare a combination he was experiencing in Turkey. Since he is in a unique position that sees the shortcomings and strengths of each stakeholder, can think like them, develop strategies accordingly, and as someone who has been at the top level at every corner of the table, he established Akamedika Corp., which focuses on training and consultancy services to bring my experiences to the sector.

Haldun interest in biostatistics has expanded over the recent years to evidence-based medicine, methodology, article writing, critical appraisal, and journal logs. Years of editorship led me to believe that the obstacles to high-quality research and publications are the need for more mentorship and training in academic development, statistics, methodology, and journal logs. Now providing training and consultancy services to researchers with Akamedika Corp.Medical translation was the first job he made money from in medical school. Since then, he has translated more than 10 million words of everything medical from English to Turkish.
