Dr. İhsan Solaroğlu received his MD degree from Osmangazi University School of Medicine and completed his residency in Neurosurgery at Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital. Working as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Neurological Sciences at Loma Linda University with Professor John H. Zhang., Dr. Solaroğlu specialized in the areas of neurovascular system and neurooncology.

Dr. Solaroğlu’s research focuses on the neuroprotective effect of hematopoietic growth factors. He is currently conducting research on the role of pericytes in the functioning of blood-brain barrier and stroke. In addition, his lab investigates the pathways involved in proliferation, migration and invasion of glioma cells. Dr. Solaroğlu is also a faculty member at Loma Linda University.
