Anna Akhmanova (born in 1967) has carried out highly creative research on the cell biology of the cytoskeleton. She uses ultramodern technologies to look inside cells, in particular to track the movement of cellular components and to examine the infrastructure needed in cells to transport information and materials. Disruption of transport in cells can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Akhmanova’s research on the internal organisation of the cell has won her international acclaim.
