معرفی
Dr. Snezana Levic is an Associate Professor (Clinical Neuroscience) at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS). She holds a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of California, Davis (2006) and has held research positions across institutions in the US, France, and the UK. She joined BSMS as a Lecturer in Physiology in 2014.
Her research focuses on the functional development and maturation of the auditory system, including the role of spontaneous electrical activity, mechanisms of hearing loss, and calcium signaling pathways. Key areas of expertise include electrophysiology and imaging techniques applied to auditory neuroscience.
Teaching responsibilities include leadership roles in Phase 1 SSC modules, Module 102 (2006), Module 203 (2019-2020), and Academic Tutoring for incoming students.
Dr. Levic's work has been supported by grants from the Medical Research Council (MRC), including projects on cochlear amplification mechanisms, gap-junction signaling in neurodegeneration, and sensory cell interactions in the organ of Corti.
Her publications span over 20 years, with recent contributions to understanding cochlear biomechanics, optogenetic control of auditory cells, and the role of Emilin proteins in hearing. Notable collaborations include studies on connexin mutations and calcium channel dynamics in auditory development.
