Anna Sergeevna Akhmanova (born 11 May 1967) is a Russian-born professor of Cell Biology at Utrecht University in the Netherlands.[1][2] She is best known for her research regarding microtubules and their plus-end stabilizing proteins, or TIPs.
Career
Akhmanova was born on 11 May 1967 in Moscow.[3] She grew up in a family of scientists.[4] She studied biochemistry and molecular biology at Moscow State University. Her thesis was completed in Alexander Mankin’s laboratory where she researched halophilic archaebacteria.[4]
She continued her studies in the Netherlands, obtaining a PhD from Radboud University Nijmegen in 1997.[5] She then started working as postdoc at Nijmegen and the Erasmus MC. In 2011 she became professor of Cell Biology at Utrecht University.[5] Her research, amongst other subjects, focuses on the cytoskeleton.[1] She is best known for her research regarding microtubules and their plus-end stabilizing proteins, or TIPs.[5]
Awards and honors
Akhmanova received the ALW Vernieuwingsimpuls VIDI (2001) and VICI awards (2007).[5] In 2013, Akhmanova together with Marileen Dogterom received a European Research Council Synergy grant of 7.1 million euro.[6] The grant was given for research on cell division and cell movement.[2]
