Emerging Leader

Understanding microglial interactions in Parkinson’s and how changes in cellular interactions drive cell death

Techniques

Advanced microscopy & imaging, Bioinformatics, Next generation sequencing, Single cell / nucleus transcriptomics, Spatial transcriptomics, Stem cells / iPSCs

Biography

Following her PhD in Neuroscience investigating microglia-neuron interactions in induced pluripotent stem cells at UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology in 2021, Dr Anna Mallach joined the UK DRI at UCL. In Prof Bart De Strooper's lab, she established several spatial transcriptomic platforms and relevant analysis pipelines. In 2024, she established an independent research group as an Edmond J Safra Research Fellow at Imperial College London, and became a UK DRI Emerging Leader, sponsored by Prof Paul Matthews. Her research programme aims to understand glial interactions in neurodegeneration and how they can contribute to the development and progression of the disease.
