2019 - Member of Academia Europaea

Overview

Zoltán Molnár is affiliated with the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily focuses on neuroscience, with extensive work published in related subfields including cognitive neuroscience, cellular and molecular neuroscience, molecular biology, developmental neuroscience, and pediatrics, perinatology, and child health.

Their main topics of research span several areas: neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, neural dynamics and brain function, neurogenesis and neuroplasticity mechanisms, sleep and wakefulness research, photoreceptor and optogenetics research, neonatal and fetal brain pathology, and circadian rhythm and melatonin.

Several key publications highlight their contributions to the field, such as:

Transient cortical circuits match spontaneous and sensory-driven activity during development, 2020, Science
A role for the cortex in sleep-wake regulation, 2021, Nature Neuroscience
In search of common developmental and evolutionary origin of the claustrum and subplate, 2020, The Journal of Comparative Neurology
Congenital Zika syndrome is associated with maternal protein malnutrition, 2020, Science Advances
Real-time continuous glucose monitoring in preterm infants (REACT): an international, open-label, randomised controlled trial, 2021, The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health

Molnár frequently collaborates with other researchers, with notable co-authors including Anna Hoerder-Suabedissen, Vladyslav V. Vyazovskiy, S. Hayashi, Lukas B. Krone, and Elise Meijer. These collaborations have contributed to a diverse array of research outputs.

Their research has appeared in several prominent venues, featuring highest numbers of publications in:

bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
Faculty Opinions - Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature
The Journal of Comparative Neurology
Cerebral Cortex
Brain

Molnár was recognized by their peers with the election as a Member of Academia Europaea in 2019, which represents a formal acknowledgment of their standing within the scientific community.
