Research Interests:
Carlos Ibanez studied biology at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. His PhD work was conducted at the Leloir Institute (formerly known as Fundacion Campomar) under the direction of Carlos Frasch. The papers published during his PhD are available HERE. Carlos Ibanez did postdoctoral studies at the Karolinska Institute (KI), Sweden, under the direction of the late Håkan Persson. The articles published during his postdoc is available HERE. In 1996, he became Professor in Neuroscience at the Department of Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. Information about his KI laboratory can be found HERE. Since 2004, Carlos Ibanez is a member of the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute, the body that awards the Nobel Prize in Physiology Or Medicine. In the Fall of 2012, Carlos Ibanez became jointly appointed as Professor at the Department of Physiology, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS). Information about his NUS laboratory can be found HERE. From January 2021, he will join IDG/McGovern Institute for Brain Research as full-time faculty.
