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 murine hypertension. 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 post doctoral research post within the same laboratory, where she investigated 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 on association of clonal hematopoiesis and immune cell interactions post MI, thus advancing her interests in cardio-immunology.
