About me

  • Adamantia Fragkopoulou is a Neuroscientist with a focus on Brain Injury,  


  • Radiation Biology, and Behaviour. During her PhD, she studied the effects of
    non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation on the mouse brain and behavior. In
    2015, she moved to the Department of Neuroscience at Karolinska Institutet,
    where she performed postdoctoral studies on neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) 

  • and cerebral palsy. In 2019, she was appointed Assistant Professor at 


  • the Department of Women's and Children's Health at KI, and her current
    research addresses how ionizing radiation (radiotherapy, RT) affects the
    young brain. She is using novel technologies, including antisense
    oligonucleotides, to ameliorate the so-called late complications of RT, such
    as cognitive decline, in childhood cancer survivors. She is also studying the long-term inflammation after hypoxia-ischemia in mice wtih focus on lymphocyte activation. Additionally, she is expert user support for the X-ray Irradiation Core Facility at KI. Adamantia was appointed Team Leader at KBH on January 1st, 2025.
