Jelena Baranovic is a Lecturer in Biochemistry at the University of Edinburgh, where she has been a faculty member since 2018. Before joining Edinburgh, she conducted postdoctoral research at the FMP Leibniz Institute for Molecular Pharmacology from 2012 to 2018, under the guidance of Prof. Andrew J. R. Plested. She completed her doctoral studies in Physics at the University of Oxford from 2007 to 2012, working with Prof. John F. Ryan. Her academic journey began with an undergraduate degree in Molecular Biology from the University of Zagreb. Her research focuses on understanding the structure and function of AMPA receptors, which are critical for neurotransmission processes in the human brain. Baranovic is particularly interested in the activation mechanisms of these receptors and their alterations leading to neurological disorders. Additionally, she is involved in undergraduate teaching, delivering courses such as Molecules, Genes Cells 1 and Membrane Biology. She encourages PhD applications for her current research projects and seeks to further explore the dynamics of AMPA receptors.
