Nanoscale Hippocalcin Signaling in Long-Term Depression in Norm and Primary Dystonia
Дослідний грант за програмою довготривалого фінансування Польскою Академію та Національною Академією Наук США
Role: Executor
Borys Olifirov
Postgraduate student
Description of the field of scientific research:
Borys investigates the molecular mechanisms of short- and long-term synaptic plasticity, particularly long-term posthyperpolarization and NMDAR-dependent long-term depression of excitatory postsynaptic currents. He also studies postsynaptic calcium dynamics in neuronal dendrites and the influence of biophysical properties of calcium-binding proteins on calcium-dependent signaling.
List of duties:
Borys is a postgraduate student in the field of molecular biophysics and neuroscience. He is interested in the molecular physiology of synaptic transmission mechanisms and synaptic plasticity.
His technical interests include image analysis, application of computer vision and machine learning methods in microscopy and visual scientific data analysis, and free software development.
Professional experience:
From 2016 to 2019, Borys was an intern at the Research Group of Systems Biology at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics of the NAS of Ukraine, and from 2019 to 2021, he was a student at the Department of Molecular Biophysics at the Bogomoletz Institute of Physiology of NAS of Ukraine.
Since 2021, Borys has been a PhD student at the Department of Molecular Biophysics of the Bogomoletz Institute of Physiology of NAS of Ukraine.
In addition, from 2016 to 2019, Borys was a member of the Ukrainian Biochemical Society. Since 2021, he has been a member of the Ukrainian Society for Neuroscience and the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies.
