He served as assistant professor of Plastic Surgery and chief combat surgeon in Turkish Armed Forces for over 15 years. Dr. Zor estblished the first military VCA programs in Turkey and obtained approval for both hand and face transplantation in 2011. Given his field experience in battlefield medicine and expertise in complex reconstruction, tissue regeneration, and hand/face transplantation, he was recruited to Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine as a faculty in 2017. He participated on several collaborative multi-institutional RTRP and PRMRP awards in the area of reconstructive transplantation and tissue generation. Currently, he's working as Burn Surgery Fellow in Indiana University School of Medicine.

My research focus is on immunomodulation, non-invasive VCA monitoring, peripheral and optic nerve regeneration, nanomedicine applications involving transplant and tissue regeneration indications and multimodality imaging strategies for VCA.
