Dr. Toft-Bertelsen holds a MSc in Molecular Biomedicine (The Protein Laboratory, Department of Neuroscience and Pharmacology, University of Copenhagen) and obtained her PhD in Molecular Neurobiology in the Sørensen Laboratory at the Department of Neuroscience, University of Copenhagen in 2014, with a research focus on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of neurotransmitter release in chemical synapses and in neuroendocrine cells. As a Postdoctoral fellow in the MacAulay Laboratory (Department of Neuroscience, University of Copenhagen), Dr. Toft-Bertelsen focused on the physiological and pathophysiological role of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 ion channel. Currently, Dr. Toft-Bertelsen is employed as an assistant professor (Department of Neuroscience, University of Copenhagen) with a focus on the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms underlying water and ion homeostasis in the mammalian brain under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions.
