Проф. д-р Emel Torun е педиатър със специализация в детското хранене, проследяването на растежа и развитието, имунизациите в детска възраст, приема на витамини и минерали при деца и кърменето. Родена е в Анкара през 1973 г. и завършва медицинското си образование в Медицинския факултет на Istanbul University. През 1998 г. започва специализация в Катедрата по педиатрия, а през 2003 г. става специалист по педиатрия. След около десет години опит в частни болници през 2010 г. постъпва в Катедрата по педиатрия на Медицинския факултет на Bezmialem Vakıf University, където преминава от специалист преподавател до доцент, като през 2015 г. полага изпита за доцентура.
