Gulsah Kaya Karasu began her veterinary medicine career at Istanbul University Veterinary Medicine, where her passion for horses was sparked during an internship at Liverpool University Leahurst Equine Hospital in the United Kingdom, from which she graduated in 2004. Driven by this early dedication, she earned her Doctorate Degree in 2009 from Vienna Veterinary University in Austria, focusing on "colic risk factors in horses." Her outstanding thesis earned her the prestigious Von Firks Stipendium at the university, which opened up new opportunities in her career. Gulsah's career then took her around the world, including fellowships at Blueridge Equine Hospital in the United States. In 2011, she was appointed as an Associate Professor at Istanbul Aydın University and pursued further education in equine medicine at Liverpool University. Her commitment to equine health took her to follow the ECVCN-European College Veterinary Comparative Nutrition Residency program. She has done technical consulting for major horse feed companies, farms and her insightful articles have appeared in a number of equine magazines. She currently lives in the Netherlands and works as a senior lecturer and researcher at Van Hall Larenstein University's Equine Department.
