The Barth Syndrome Foundation’s (BSF) international Scientific and Medical Advisory Board is a dedicated team of researchers and physicians who generously donate their time and expertise to our mission. Without them, we would not be able to review grant applications with multi-dimensional expertise or write medically-approved educational materials about Barth syndrome. These eminent scientists and physicians are central to our goals and our operation. BSF is incredibly pleased to introduce our members, each of whom has agreed to serve for a four-year term. This international group forms the review panel for research grants and provides scientific and medical advice and guidance to BSF's Board of Directors.
Borko Amulic, PhD
Borko Amulic now heads a research lab at the University of Bristol, UK. He received his PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology from Cornell Medical College in New York, where he investigated regulation of malaria virulence genes in the lab of Kirk Deitsch. He then moved to the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin as an EMBO fellow to investigate neutrophil biology.
In 2018, Borko was awarded an MRC fellowship to start his own lab in Bristol. His team investigates the cell biology of neutrophils and their role in severe malaria.
