Anna received her PhD in Genetics and Molecular Medicine from the University of Naples Federico II (Italy) in 2016. During her graduate work, she focused on the study of prion disease. In the Zurzolo lab, Anna is continuing to work on the mechanism of prions misfolding and trafficking. Her major interest, however, is the use of zebrafish as a developmental model to assess the existence and function of tunneling nanotubes in vivo. She likes to spend countless hours (especially at night) imaging TNTs using various microscopes (confocal , spinning disc, light-sheet, etc).
