معرفی
Tibor Harkany is a **Professor** and research group leader at the **Department of Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet**. His work focuses on molecular neurobiology, particularly endocannabinoid signaling in neural development, fetal brain drug effects, calcium-binding proteins, and hypothalamic neuroendocrine mechanisms.
**Education**: PhD in Medical Sciences (Summa Cum Laude) from Semmelweis University (1999), Docent at Karolinska Institutet (2005). Postdoctoral fellowship at Karolinska Institutet (2002–2004).
**Awards**: Eric K. Fernström Prize (2013), Anders Jahre Medical Prize (2012), EMBO Young Investigator (2007), among others.
**Research Interests**: Explores endocannabinoid systems in brain development, molecular mechanisms of psychoactive drugs in fetal neurons, roles of calcium-binding proteins like secretagogin in stress hormone release, and neuronal identity in sensory/hypothalamic circuits. His lab combines proteomics, genetics, and imaging.
**Recent Work**: Studies include neuronal activity's role in secretagogin expression (2025), cerebrospinal fluid pathways (2024), and hypothalamic circuits regulating feeding in heat stress (2024). Articles highlight neuroendocrine regulation, developmental plasticity, and translational neuroscience.
**Lab**: Molecular and cellular neuroendocrinology group at Karolinska Institutet, collaborating with institutions like the Medical University of Vienna's Center for Brain Research.
