Overview

Tibor Harkany is affiliated with the Medical University of Vienna in Austria. Their research spans primarily the fields of neuroscience and medicine, with a focus on several subfields including cellular and molecular neuroscience, molecular biology, endocrine and autonomic systems, cognitive neuroscience, and physiology.

The scientist's work covers a variety of main topics such as sleep and wakefulness research, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, cannabis and cannabinoid research, neuroendocrine regulation and behavior, regulation of appetite and obesity, adipose tissue and metabolism, and neurogenesis and neuroplasticity mechanisms.

Among recent publications, key papers include:

  • Dental cell type atlas reveals stem and differentiated cell types in mouse and human teeth, 2020, Nature Communications
  • Molecular design of hypothalamus development, 2020, Nature
  • Identification of ALK in Thinness, 2020, Cell
  • A Neuro-hormonal Circuit for Paternal Behavior Controlled by a Hypothalamic Network Oscillation, 2020, Cell
  • Functional heterogeneity of POMC neurons relies on mTORC1 signaling, 2021, Cell Reports

The scientist frequently collaborates with colleagues such as Erik Keimpema, Evgenii O. Tretiakov, Zsófia Hevesi, Roman A. Romanov, and Tomas Hökfelt.

Publications often appear in high-profile venues, including Nature Communications, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Acta Physiologica, and Nature.

Tibor Harkany was recognized as a member of Academia Europaea in 2016.
