Dr Barbora Fulopova
Researcher biography
Dr. Fulopova is an early career Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Queensland Brain Institute (QBI), The University of Queensland (UQ), focusing on research promoting neural adaptation in health and disease. Dr. Fulopova received PhD in Medical Studies (Neuroscience) in 2021 at the Wicking Dementia Research and Education Centre, University of Tasmania. During her doctoral candidature Dr. Fulopova developed expertise working in preclinical animal models, combining cutting edge in vivo imaging, neuromodulation and behavioural assays to investigate presynaptic axonal pathology, and how this could be ameliorated in dementia associated neurodegeneration. In her current postdoctoral work, Dr. Fulopova applies neurophysiological techniques using both ex vivo patch clamp recordings as well as in vivo optical calcium imaging and extracellular microelectrode recordings to study recovery of neural circuits connectivity following stroke and neurodegeneration.
