Dr. Senol Dane graduated from Ege University, Faculty of Medicine, İzmir, Turkey, in 1986. He worked at Cinar Health Center in Diyarbakir and Mevlana Health Center in Konya, Turkey.
In 1988, Dr. Dane began his career as a research assistant at Ataturk University, Medical Faculty, Department of Medical Physiology, in Erzurum, Turkey. He became a medical specialist in Medical Physiology in 1990, an assistant professor in 1991, an associate professor in 1993, and a full professor in 1998, all within the same department.
Dr. Dane served on the education committee for five years at the Medical Faculty of Ataturk University. He has received multiple awards for Outstanding Scientist of the Year from Ataturk University, Fatih University, Turgut Ozal University, and Nile University of Nigeria. In 2021, he won the Best Scientist award at the Prophetic Medicine Congress in Abu Dhabi, UAE. He has been a member of the New York Academy of Science since 1997.
Dr. Dane has published approximately 200 scientific papers in international top journals indexed in the Science Citation Index, with about 5,000 citations. He has also written around 50 local papers in Turkish. His international published book chapters include “Brain Injury and Cerebral Lateralization” and “Enzymes and Digestion.”
Dr. Dane has received two significant grants from The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK): one for Voltammetry and neurotransmitters in 2006 (300,000.00 TL) and another for using Voltammetry for therapeutics in 2012 (2,000,000.00 TL).
His research interests encompass Neurophysiology, Psychophysiology, Cerebral Lateralization, Sport and Exercise Physiology, and Complementary Medicine. He has investigated the relationships between cerebral lateralization and neuropsychological diseases such as Autism, Schizophrenia, and Migraine. Dr. Dane discovered novel therapeutic strategies utilizing Cerebral Lateralization, including forced unilateral nostril breathing, which significantly impacted autistic children.
Dr. Dane’s research on Traditional and Complementary Medicine has revealed the health benefits of therapies such as hijamah (wet and dry cupping), reflexology, and footbath therapy. His studies have shown that wet-cupping therapy helps dispose of toxic materials, regulate sleep, and boost immunity. Reflexology studies have demonstrated positive effects on autism.
Additionally, Dr. Dane has explored the effects of short- and long-term training on oxidative/antioxidative balance in animals and athletes within the field of Exercise Physiology and Oxidative Stress.
