Biography
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 10th 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.
