Esmira Mamedova

Esmira Mamedova is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in neuronal signaling mechanisms within the gastrointestinal system and vagal afferent pathways.

Her research encompasses:

• Cellular signaling in vagal sensory neurons
• Neuroendocrine regulation of gastrointestinal functions
• Receptor pharmacology of gut peptides (GLP-1, CCK, PYY) and bile acids
• Gut-brain axis communication
• Calcium signaling dynamics in neuronal excitability

Analysis of her recent publications (2019-2025) reveals a concentrated focus on molecular mechanisms of vagal afferent signaling, particularly how gut-derived molecules modulate nodose ganglion neuron activity. Her work demonstrates consistent investigation into peptide hormone receptors, bile acid signaling, and neuropeptide effects with direct implications for understanding gastrointestinal disorders and developing novel therapeutics.

No scientific awards or student supervision activities are documented in available sources.

She operates within the Neuronal Signalling research group at the University of Copenhagen, maintaining active collaborations in neurogastroenterology research.
