Anna M. Jansson
Neurobiologist
Molecular and cellular researcher with a particular interest in somatosensory and visual transduction. Passionate about the development of cephalopods (coleoids in particular; octopus, squid, and cuttlefish) as model organisms for basic neuroscience research.Currently a research assistant for Dr. Joergen Kornfeld at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, to assist in establishing the new lab space and reconstructing and optimizing our custom automated gradient stainer.Other projects focusing on G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the Octopus vulgaris visual system (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology) and short-term synaptic plasticity of parvalbumin interneurons in mouse cortex (University of Wisconsin-Madison). Operations Executive for Women in Neuroscience UK (WiNUK).Recent Master's of Philosophy graduate at the University of Cambridge in Basic and Translational Neuroscience with a Bachelor's of Science from UW-Madison in Neurobiology and Chemistry (with a minor in Theatre).
