معرفی
Dr. Hilary Yong is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and PhD student at the Queensland Brain Institute (QBI), University of Queensland. Their research focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity, neurodegenerative diseases, and melanoma genetics. Affiliations include collaborations with the Department of Dermatology and cancer research groups.
Education: PhD candidate at QBI, with prior research experience in molecular biology and cell signaling. Academic background includes studies in genetics and neuroscience.
Research interests span NMDA receptor trafficking, AMPA receptor ubiquitination, and the role of exerkines in cognitive aging. Recent work explores FTO protein regulation and melanoma survival pathways.
Publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches to neurobiology and oncology, with contributions to Nature Communications, Journal of Neuroscience, and Cell Reports. No scientific awards explicitly mentioned, but active in grant-funded projects related to brain disorders and cancer biology.
Labs/Teams: Affiliated with QBI's Neuroplasticity and Neurodegeneration research groups. Collaborates with Prof. Victor Anggono (molecular neuroscience) and Prof. Richard Sturm (melanoma genetics).
