Maryna Basalay

Maryna Basalay is an Honorary Research Fellow at the Institute of Cardiovascular Science, University College London (UCL). She holds expertise in clinical cardiology, internal medicine, and experimental cardiovascular research. Her roles include research positions at UCL’s Hatter Cardiovascular Institute and King’s College London, alongside senior research roles at the Scientific and Practical Centre 'Cardiology' in Belarus. Dr. Basalay’s work focuses on cardioprotection, stroke neuroprotection, metabolic influences on cardiovascular health, and immune mechanisms in disease.

Education:

• MD in Internal Medicine (2004), Belarusian State Medical University
• MD in Cardiology (2009), Belarusian Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education
• PhD in Cardiology (2012), Research Centre 'Cardiology', Minsk

Research Interests: Her research spans experimental models of myocardial infarction, stroke, and metabolic disorders. Key areas include the role of GLP-1 analogues in neuroprotection, parasympathetic activity in cardioprotection, and the pathobiology of pediatric obesity-related asthma. Collaborations with institutions like Karolinska Institute and Yale School of Medicine highlight her interdisciplinary approach.

Publications: Her work bridges clinical and experimental findings, with recent focus on T cell dynamics in asthma, SGLT2 inhibitors’ cardioprotective effects, and remote ischemic conditioning in stroke. Articles frequently explore translational applications of metabolic and neural mechanisms.

Grants & Labs: While specific grants are not detailed, her involvement in workshops (e.g., Hatter Cardiovascular Institute conferences) and collaborations suggests sustained research engagement. She contributes to labs investigating cardiovascular and metabolic pathways.
