Ileana Hanganu-Opatz (born June 20, 1975) is a Romanian academic and a leader of the Institute of Developmental Neurophysiology at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf,[1] in Germany.
Hanganu-Opatz received a fellowship for the Neuroscience Graduate Program, "Pathologische Prozesse des Nervensystems: Vom Gen zum Verhalten," providing her with specialized training and resources to delve deeper into her research interests.
[4] Her current research combines electrophysiological methods and optogenetics with imaging and behavioral assessments to study the role of early network oscillations in the development of cognition and sensory perception, uni- and multisensory processing and ontogeny, as well as pathophysiology of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders.
This award recognized her outstanding and independent scientific achievements in physiology, particularly her research contributions to electrophysiology and its relevance to neurological disorders.
This membership is awarded to neuroscientists who have made significant contributions to the field and are deemed to have the potential for future excellence in neuroscience research.
