Vladimir Parpura is a Croatian-American neurobiologist who is currently a professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[1]

Education

He earned his M.D. at University of Zagreb in 1989 a doctorate in neurology and zoology at Iowa State University in 1993.[2] He also taught at Iowa State University before starting at University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Research

His interest are in ion channels, astrocyte-neuron glutamate-mediated signaling, synaptic function and Glial biology.[2] His highest cited paper is "Tripartite synapses: glia, the unacknowledged partner"[3] at 1662 times, according to Google Scholar.[4]
