			'''Annette Catherine Dolphin''' is a prominent British neuroscientist known for her extensive research on [[voltage-gated calcium channels]]. Her work has significantly contributed to the understanding of the role these channels play in [[neurotransmission]] and [[neurological disorders]].

	== Early Life and Education ==		== Early Life and Education ==
	Annette Dolphin was born in the [[United Kingdom]]. She ~~completed~~ her undergraduate studies in [[~~Biochemistry~~]] at the [[University of ~~Oxford~~]], ~~followed by~~ a ~~PhD~~ in [[~~Pharmacology~~]] at the [[University of London]].		Annette Dolphin was born in the United Kingdom. She pursued her undergraduate studies in [[Natural Sciences]] at the [[University of Cambridge]], where she developed a keen interest in [[neuroscience]]. She later completed her [[PhD]] at the [[University of London]], focusing on the mechanisms of [[synaptic transmission]].

			== Research and Career ==
			Dolphin's research primarily focuses on the function and modulation of voltage-gated calcium channels. These channels are crucial for the release of neurotransmitters in the [[central nervous system]]. Her work has provided insights into how these channels are regulated and how their dysfunction can lead to various neurological conditions.

	== ~~Career~~ ==		=== Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels ===
	~~Following her PhD,~~ Dolphin ~~worked as a postdoctoral researcher at~~ the ~~[[University~~ of ~~California~~, ~~San Francisco]] (UCSF) and the~~ [[~~University of Cambridge~~]]~~. She then joined the~~ [[~~University College London~~]] ~~(UCL) as a lecturer in Pharmacology, where she later became a Professor~~.		Voltage-gated calcium channels are essential for the conversion of electrical signals into chemical signals in neurons. Dolphin's research has elucidated the structure and function of these channels, as well as their role in [[pain]] and [[epilepsy]].

	Dolphin~~'s research focuses on the role~~ of [[~~voltage-gated calcium channels~~]] (~~VGCCs~~) in the ~~nervous system~~. ~~She has made significant~~ contributions to ~~our understanding of how these channels are regulated, and how they contribute to neurological~~ and ~~psychiatric disorders~~.		=== Academic Positions ===
			Annette Dolphin has held several prestigious academic positions. She is a Professor of Pharmacology at [[University College London]] (UCL) and has been a Fellow of the [[Royal Society]] since 2015. Her contributions to neuroscience have been recognized with numerous awards and honors.

	== ~~Honours and Awards~~ ==		== Contributions to Neuroscience ==
	~~In recognition of her contributions to neuroscience,~~ Dolphin has ~~received numerous awards and honours. She was elected a Fellow~~ of ~~the~~ [[~~Royal Society~~]] ~~in 2002,~~ and ~~a Fellow of the~~ [[~~Academy of Medical Sciences~~]] ~~in 2004~~. ~~In 2013, she was awarded~~ the [[~~British Pharmacological Society~~]]'s ~~Gaddum Memorial Award~~.		Dolphin's work has advanced the understanding of how calcium channels contribute to [[synaptic plasticity]] and [[neurodegenerative diseases]]. Her research has implications for the development of new therapeutic strategies for conditions such as [[chronic pain]] and [[Alzheimer's disease]].
