Femke Waleboer

Femke Waleboer is a PhD Candidate at the Faculty of Science, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, affiliated with the Department of Integrative Neurophysiology and Amsterdam Neuroscience - Systems & Network Neuroscience. Her research focuses on the morpho-electric and transcriptomic diversity of neurons in the hippocampus and neocortex.

• Education
  • Master in Neurosciences (2023)
  • Bachelor in Biomedical Sciences (2021)

Her work spans neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, and systems neuroscience, with a focus on GABAergic interneurons, dendritic properties, transcriptomics, and their roles in episodic memory and neural networks. Her recent publications in Cell Reports and Science highlight her contributions to understanding the diversity and functional properties of human hippocampal and neocortical neurons.

She collaborates with international researchers in neurosciences and biomedical sciences, as evidenced by her co-authorship in high-impact journals. Her email address is f.waleboer@vu.nl.
