Dimitri M. Kullmann (born 1958, London) is a professor of neurology at the UCL Institute of Neurology,[1] University College London, and is in charge of the Synaptopathies initiative funded by the Wellcome Trust.[2] Kullmann is a member of the Queen Square Centre For Neuromuscular Disease. [3] He is a consultant neurologist at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, and a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences.[4]

Education

Kullmann studied Physiological Sciences (MA, DPhil) and Medicine (MB BS) at Oxford University and St Thomas' Hospital Medical School, London University.[5]

Research

The Kullmann lab has contributed to the discovery and elucidation of silent synapses,[6] glutamate spillover, tonic inhibition, long-term potentiation in interneurons,[7] neurological channelopathies[8] and Synaptopathies, gene therapy for epilepsy,[9] and mechanisms of neural oscillations.[10]

Awards and achievements

Kullmann was awarded the University Gold Medal in Medicine, London University, in 1986.[11]

He was elected a Guarantor of Brain in 2000,[12] and a Corresponding Fellow of the American Neurological Association in 2013.[13]

Editorial work

He is the Editor-in-Chief of Brain.[14] Kullmann is also a member of the editorial board of Neuron.[15]
