Anne Curtis Receives Neurophotonics T32 Fellowship
Anne Curtis of the Chantranupong Lab recently received a Neurophotonics T32 Fellowship. Recipients of this fellowship are expected to continue to complete all the requirements of the NPC Research Training Program, including taking a leadership role in an NPC Committee and/or assisting with future bootcamps.
Anne is studying neuromelanin, a byproduct of dopamine metabolism, to investigate the function of this pigment and how it influences vulnerability during Parkinson’s Disease. She is modelling this in a midbrain organoid system. Furthermore, she plans to utilize Interference Differential Absorbance Confocal (IDAC) microscopy, developed by the Mertz Lab, to track neuromelanin with improved resolution.
