Julianna Cseri, M.D., Ph.D., is a College Professor retired from the Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Public Health, University of Debrecen, Debrecen, Hungary. Her scientific field is skeletal muscle physiology. She was awarded her general medicine diploma in 1973 from the University Medical School of Debrecen and started scientific work at the Department of Physiology, University Medical School of Debrecen (later the

Faculty of Medicine University of Debrecen). She achieved scientific qualifications in muscle electrophysiology. Her attention was later turned to the proliferation and differentiation of the skeletal muscle in cell cultures and the role of intracellular calcium homeostasis in myogenesis. This work is closely related to muscle degeneration and regeneration in vivo, managed by physiotherapy interventions.
