<\/div>[vc_custom_heading text=”Dr. Bozkurt is known for his innovative approaches in gastroenterology and microbiota research. He is the inventor of the Endoscopic Bifidobacterium Administration\/ Secondary Bacterial Transfer Therapy. His groundbreaking scientific studies earned him the distinction of being the first researcher to prove that microplastics can be biologically degraded by Bifidobacterium. His contributions to the field have been published in numerous national and international scientific articles and have been recognized with prestigious international awards. Additionally, he was invited to join Sigma Xi, one of the world’s oldest and most esteemed scientific communities.
\nDr. H\u00fcseyin Sancar Bozkurt is the founder of Bioprobif, a pioneering biotechnology and probiotics company. As part of this initiative, he developed the probiotic product \u201cProbif,\u201d which contains Prebiotic XOS, Probiotic Bifidobacterium Infantis, and Postbiotic Alginate. He also led innovative research in producing biodegradable food packaging and bioplastic materials based on probiotic Bifidobacterium.<\/p>\n

International Recognition & AGA Fellow (AGAF) Title
\nDue to his outstanding scientific contributions and academic achievements in gastroenterology, Dr. H\u00fcseyin Sancar Bozkurt was honored with the prestigious “AGA Fellow“ (AGAF) title by the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA), one of the world\u2019s leading medical organizations.
\nThis title is awarded exclusively to individuals who have made profound contributions to the field, distinguishing themselves through academic and clinical excellence. Dr. Bozkurt achieved the remarkable distinction of being only the second Turkish physician in the last 20 years and the sole recipient in the last 11 years.
