Prof. Dr. Mehmet Demirci is a Professor of Medical Microbiology and Head of Department, with a PhD in Medical Microbiology. With an extensive academic background in microbiota, immune regulation, and host–pathogen interactions, he has authored more than a hundred scientific publications.
In his acclaimed non-fiction books—Your Gut Is Not Yours, You Are Not Broken, and Why Are Allergies Increasing?—Dr. Demirci translates complex biological mechanisms into practical, evidence-based insights. He challenges the idea that modern health problems are failures of willpower or genetics, revealing how disrupted microbial ecosystems shape mood, anxiety, sleep, and immunity.
Alongside his scientific writing, Dr. Demirci is the author of the Adam Atlas Medical Thriller series. These novellas fuse real microbiological science with high-stakes fiction, exploring the fragile boundary between medical discovery and global risk.
Whether writing science or fiction, his goal is to reveal the invisible biological systems that shape human behavior and health.
