Anne Curtis is a Ph.D. student in the Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, and Biochemistry Program. She graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2022 where she used retinal organoids to study eye disease. Now, in the Chantranupong Lab, she is studying the formation and trafficking of neuromelanin in dopamine neurons. Building off her stem cell experience, she is currently establishing the lab’s first iPSC lines and optimizing differentiation of midbrain organoids. She hopes to utilize the resources of the Neurophotonics Department in order to image and track neuromelanin in her organoid model.
