Fulye Argunhan is a post doctoral research associate at King’s College London where she completed her MRC-funded PhD project in 2020 in Professor Sue Brain's group. During her PhD, she investigated the nitric oxide (NO)-independent actions of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in hypertension using in vivo techniques. She was awarded the best oral communication prize in 2019 by the British Pharmacological Society and in 2022 at the 10^th International CGRP Family Peptides Conference for her PhD project findings. She pursued a BHF-funded post doctoral research project within the same laboratory, where she focussed on the anti-inflammatory effects of CGRP in acute myocardial infarction (MI) and MI-induced heart failure using pharmacological and genetic approaches in vivo. She is currently undertaking an inter-disciplinary research post with Dr Daniel Bromage and Dr Lynn Quek, focussing specifically on the role of myeloid cells in the response to MI, thus advancing her interests in cardio-immunology.

Her interests outside of the laboratory include cycling, swimming, participating in outreach events, peer reviewing for scientific journals and advocating for equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) within academia.
