Emre Merdan Fayda

He was born in 1976 in İstanbul. He graduated from Ahmet Simsek Science High School at 1993 and Istanbul University Faculty of Medicine in 1999. He completed residency training programme in Department of Radiation Oncology in 2004, and achieved his associate professorship in 2012, and his professorship in 2017. His main areas of interest are stereotactic radiotherapy, intensity modulated radiotherapy, image guided radiotherapy, 3D brachytherapy and 4D transrectal USG guided high dose rate prostate brachytherapy. Breast, gynecologic, urologic, head and neck and gynecologic cancers are the main research areas. He has worked as an assistant professor at Kocaeli University (2006-2009) and at Istanbul University Institute of Oncology (2009-2015). He is now working at Istinye University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Radiation Oncology and also Liv Hospital Ulus, Department of Radiation Oncology as a full professor and chair of the department. He is member of Turkish Radiation Oncology Society, ASTRO, ESTRO and ASCO. He speaks English and Turkish.
