معرفی
Thamali Ayagama is a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the University of Oxford's Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics, affiliated with the Herring Group. Her research focuses on neuropeptide-Y (NPY) signaling in cardiac function and heart failure.
- Education: MSc in Applied Genetics (First Class), University of Bangalore; DPhil in Pharmacology, University of Oxford
Research Interests
The autonomic nervous system's role in cardiac pathology, particularly NPY's contribution to arrhythmias and heart failure progression. Her work explores:
- NPY expression in human and rat heart tissue
- Receptor blockers as therapeutic interventions
- Electrophysiological and molecular mechanisms
- Lysosomal signaling pathways
- Neurotransmitter co-transmission dynamics
Publications
Recent work includes proteomic analysis of cardiac signaling networks and lysosomal influences on atrial function, with a focus on translational applications for heart failure patients.
Awards
Recipient of the Bayliss Starling Prize Lecture (2023) for contributions to physiology research.
