Angela Nicoli

Dr. Angela Nicoli is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Biology Teaching & Learning Centre, part of the School of Medicine and Psychology at the Australian National University (ANU). Her work focuses on synaptic mechanisms and neurotransmitter dynamics within the Division of Neuroscience (Eccles Institute of Neuroscience).

Education:

• B.Sc. (Hons)
• PhD

Research Interests include:

• Neurotransmitter transport systems
• Amino acid metabolism in synaptic function
• Glutamate-glutamine cycle regulation
• CNS excitatory synapse physiology
• Advanced immunophenotyping techniques

Publications highlight her work on glutamine transporters like NTT4 (SLC6A17) and their role in maintaining synaptic glutamate homeostasis. Her research leverages spectral flow cytometry and multidisciplinary approaches to study neural mechanisms.
